Not really, but I'd agree if the threat was city-specific or method-specific. They've warned of this same general threat plenty of times. And I'm sure this same general threat will surface once a month until November.
Does anyone know HOW an attack before the election would have an effect on the election?

No one knows, silly.
I think it would be helpful if, when they issued info on a "new" threat, they would release and ask the media to include a summary of all existing threats, including any updated information and recently cancelled threats.
I mean, at this point, we all know there is a threat. So saying "hey! there's a threat! and we have info, but we can't share it" is useless. And the criticism thing is kinda a red herring -- if anything happens, they will get slammed because they will inevitably (and justifiably) have had more information than was released.
I think saying this over and over, when it isn't clear that anything new has surfaced, has more of an effect of making people stop doing anything.
