When you have, as we have here in the USA, only two parties, the candidate, in this case President Bush, can do what ever he wants. Because, we conservatives have no one else to vote for without throwing the race to the communist running as demorats.

Precisely. This is why we need a runoff law for national elections before we need anything else. I am all for keeping the electoral college, but the laws need to be changed so that the winner of a presidential election must get a majority of the vote AND a majority in the electoral college. This will allow people to vote their conscience without fear of throwing the election to another candidate that is loathed.

How so? I am not disagreeing with you, only curious.
