I'd say the exit polls (however flawed), information I have seen and people I have talked to, do indicate there were more people voting AGAINST the Republican than FOR the Democrat in 2004 than in any other recent presidential elections.

Also, for Kerry to get more votes in 2008 than 2004, you'd have to assume that some people who voted for Bush in 2004 would vote for Kerry in 2008. Personally, I don't see that happening. If you are one of those people who think that Kerry really had a *landslide* victory but Diebold put Bush in office (I am not) this discussion is probably a waste of time.

I know that exit polls should not be the end all be all, but I do find this zogby poll interesting. If Bush was to go head to head with every President since Carter, he'd lose to them all. However, he'still beat Kerry. http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1020 Unfortunately, I think the Swift Boat Vets for "Truth" really put a band taste in people's mouths, and that bad taste is going to stay.

I did campaign for Kerry, and I would do it again if he was the nominee, I just hope he isn't.
