Man, when you look at those 2000 numbers, it makes you wonder how Bush even won?

Poor opposition, which again was the case in 2004.

Yep! Gore was an idiot, Kerry a moron. Seems that the Republican establishment mistook the Bush victories as an endorsement of "liberal-lite" instead of an endorsement of "the lesser of two evils".

Not saying that Dubya was evil, mind you, but I don't think he rose to the level of conservatism that people really wanted.
