Lol, it was not. You maintained that long into the campaign. You even defended it like half-a-year ago or something.
BUSH WOULD HAVE WON SIGNIFICANTLY PRIOR TO OCTOBER 2004. The election was extremely close in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and New Hampshire all the way to the election, and...just to fill you in, the DNC in July was a joke, and Kerry was in the midst of Swift Boats while Bush held a post convention bounce to the first debate. Kerry was considered a joke until October, and this past year shows that John Kerry would have been a horrible President that would have been defeated in a landslide in 2008.
BUSH/CHENEY: 352
KERRY/EDWARDS: 186
If the August/September feeling would have stayed.
