Bush didn't breeze to victory in 2004 even though that election was only months before Saddam was captured in a spider hole.

Months *before*?  Wasn't Saddam captured in December 2003?

Saddam was caught Dec. 13th, 2003. I remember the day and what I was doing.

Re: Saddam's capture in December 2003: That was also around the time Howard Dean's presidential campaign began its meltdown.  Some were arguing at the time that the two were related.  That the temporary boost in optimism about the war scared some Democratic primary voters out of nominating a candidate who might be too dovish to win the general election.

I think Dean would have won 04 against Bush. He had a great record and nothing really they could use against him.
