While I agree that a larger margin for the president would have been better, I look at matters this way: the liberal/leftists/socialists threw everything they had at W...and the president STILL won reelection,...If those who tend to believe MSM half-truths had not been poisoned so relentlessly by the MSM, Michael Moore, Hollywood, and so forth, the margin would have been even greater."

Points well taken! I think I understand better now that when Bush talked of earning "political capital" he wasn't just referring to the capital that comes with a win over an opponent and the opposition party, it was the HUGE amount of capital that comes from taking on and beating Kerry and the DEMS, the MSM, old Europe, Hollywood, etc. The MSM hasn't touched on this because it is not in their interest, but your post has helped to illuminate just how great a victory this was for the President.

Your kind comments are especially appreciated since I reread my post and it contains a phrase I'd intended to delete but didn't! You managed to pull understanding out of that mess! You are very kind, indeed!
