Putin urges voters to back Bush

 

Link to CNN article

Putin didn't really endorse Bush. But he did suggest that a Bush defeat will likely give terrorists in Iraqi a sense of victory. Here's a quote from Putin that was on the CNN article:

"International terrorists have set as their goal inflicting the maximum damage to Bush, to prevent his election to a second term. If they succeed in doing that, they will celebrate a victory over America and over the entire anti-terror coalition"

I think this could have a significant affect on voters. The subtle thought that a vote for Kerry could make terrorists in Iraq and Afghan happy in any way could swing voters towards the Bush camp. Then add on top of that the already subtle feel that Kerry just doesn't have the toughness.

Based on what I've heard from Kerry and Edwards, I don't doubt they will be tough on the terrorists. But there is that nagging subconscious feeling of doubt which could sway voters.
