I'm not so sure about that. I think the Repubs wanted and desperately needed the distraction - they created it by design to draw attention away from the Bush/McCain linkage.
They're hoping to blunt the Dems attack on McBush's policies and make the election be about abortion and other culture war issues.
Can they do it? I'm concerned that the Dems have such a small lead, and will somehow manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
