Please, I never said the election was a blow out. I never said he had a mandate. I said Bush and Kerry were strong candidates as judged by the only metric that matters, votes. In hindsight, could they been stronger. Sure. But we don't get to run elections over because we've perfected our debating points.

Maybe not you, but there are many here that do use the superlatives. And one of them is the voter turn out. Both parties, depsite modest candidates turned out their bases. And both candidates had a large of amount of "anyone but Bush" and "anyone but Kerry" element.

I dont' know, but based on Freeper support, maybe Tom Delay should have run in the primary?
