You know, Ronn, that's some good researchification, but what I DO NOT see in there is where FDR says voting for the other side will result in some catastrophe. In fact, that fireside chat IS much more civil and less partisan than anything we see today. Thanks for the link, but I'm not nearly as convinced as you that he is using the war to say "vote for me."

And, again, my real interest lies in his fireside chats AFTER the war -- and those of the other presidents. Specifically, I'm concerned as to whether or not Pearl Harbor, the only thing really like 9/11, was ever used by an incumbent.

Can there be any doubt that Bush's ads showing the airplanes hitting the towers, etc, are in the poorest taste -- something only a [edited by author] could come up with?????
