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, from pseudo-documentaries to Ratherist national guard service lies to MSM negative coverage of the war in Iraq, finally ending with the "missing munitions" story that was not (a few tons "missing" - not really, as it turned out - out of really true, either...and the president STILL won reelection, and the Republicans gained in the Senate and House and a governorship as well!

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.

The conclusion is really a happy one. Even with the most powerful propaganda effort, falsehood and enslaving government and elitism and cowardice lost the day; the majority does weigh reports and think for itself. The majority did avail itself of multiple news sources. It chose well.

The nation is safe for four more years.

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.
