    Why did bush win?

    Was this Kerrys election to lose or did he have any control?

    I will refrain from speaking my mind for another day or so...I forsee tender minds here...
    Do you know everything? do you know 3% of everything? Could it be that what you don't believe in is in the other 97%?

    he won because he got more votes...simple

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    Because Kerry was a weak candidate. Anyone else and Bush wouldn't have stood a chance.


    And Edwards didn't help his case much either.

    smart vid...ha ha


    if Kerry is right; why did he not win?

    for conservatives, this is simple: Kerry is not right, but for an outlandish liberal board such as this, I would like to hear your responses.

    Elections are about a lot of things. It is simplistic in the extreme to say Bush won because he was right. Did Bill Clinton win because he was right?

    Much was made of not changing horses midstream/war by the Bush camp. This appears to have struck home. However, the economy, oil and other essential matters are now in Bush's hands. If things don't work out could Hilary have an easy run in 4 years time? A Kerry win would have probably finished her chances of the Whitehouse off as he would have been the automatic choice in 08.

    One thing was said to me today that I wondered about - it was suggested that many votes for Bush were people voting for their country. That is, people saw all the criticism being levelled at their country from around the world, and by voting for Bush they felt they were standing up for their country, even if they weren't Bush supporters.

    Does this sound true to anyone?
