4. I actually think there's a bit of truth there.
Immediately after any tragedy, all people tend to over-react. That's how the Patriot act got passed so quickly and without any scrutiny. That's why everybody was behind shrub when he said "We're gonna hunt 'em down and kille 'em." Everybody has revenge in their mind...until enough time passes and your rational thoughts return.

Now, I'm not positive that the immediate reaction would be for shrub because he's there, or if it would be against him because he failed to protect the people like he promised. I am sure, the result of an election immediately after another attack would be a landslide.
