If Osama endorsed a candidate, would that candidate surely loose? Which candidate do you think someone like Osama would endorse?
Your question is hypothetical.
For your first question i think the answer is no.
Which candidate do you think someone like Osama would endorse?
If he were in a position to endorse a person into the power he would have decided 2000 victor.
If he takes his official acknowledged post as a terrorist
he would have shaped the result of the election like 2004.
It's 'lose'. Loose means something else.
Personally, I think that Osama Bin Laden would probably endorse someone as much like George W Bush as possible. I think he would endorse someone like Nora O'Donnel. She sure sounds dumb in the Dubya style.
It looks to many people as if Bin laden is using the classic ploy of using your opponent's strength to defeat him. How does a small weak guy defeat an 800 lb gorilla? Not with sheer strength that's for sure. What he does is give the gorilla a bloody nose (9-11, USS Cole etc) so he gets so blind with rage and frustration that he blunders about like an idiot wasting his resources in useless chest beating and folly (Iraq).
Furthermore, Bin laden comes from a high up Saudi family. He knows what a bunch of crooks Bush and his gang are, and just what they would be likely to do.
