I'm going to have to do some research to find out when the last time a Presidential candidate secured less than 40% of the vote. Kerry will not score even 40% -- that's my prediction, anyway.

McGovern 38.2% in 1972. Don't know how Mondale did, but I think he was above 40%.

I'm going to have to do some research to find out when the last time a Presidential candidate secured less than 40% of the vote. You should focus on elections where there was no major third-party candidate, since George H.W. Bush received only about 37% of the popular vote in 1992.

I'll save you the trouble. In 1992 Bush 41 only got 38% of the vote. He let his guard down, never campaighned like he really wanted to win and seemed unprepared at the debates. That loss had a profound effect on our current President. You can bet the ranch that he won't make the same mistakes.
