Bushies stole the election from Kerry in Ohio, don't forget. After stealing it from Gore in Florida. No doubt about it anymore. Kerry actually won, though the smearvets lies and all the other total BS about him being "weak on defnese" made it close. Millions of gullible people out there fell for their scurrilous lies and scare tactics.

You got it wrong again, Kenneth...

Here is what you state:
Voters realize they made a mistake in elevating Bush's likeability over Kerry's competence.

Here is what your article states:
Bush didn't win in 04 because he was more likeable," he added. "He won because he was seen as more steadfast particularly in fighting terror, which is less relevant today. But it's still not high school. Traits other than likeability are important today and have been in most elections. Strength, leadership, competence, compassion and other personal traits almost always enter into the equation."

Do you even read these linked articles? Based on this disingenuous post, I guess the answer is no.

Kerry is only competent at marrying heiresses and spending his wife's fortune on his shallow lifestyle.
