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.
LMAO. I remember there wasn't a single poll in Minnesota showing Bush ahead until late September, and even then it was only marginal. Kerry was always considered to be the favorite here, as well as in Michigan (which Bush largely conceded near the end, his showing there was actually much stronger than expected), Pennsylvania and New Hamsphire. Wisconsin was the only state out of those where Bush was ever considered to have an edge. Plus the national polls were always showing it a dead heat, except for the convention bounces.
and this past year shows that John Kerry would have been a horrible President that would have been defeated in a landslide in 2008.
Um yeah. Because Bush has been so competant so far, as evidence by his soaring approval ratings.
BUSH/CHENEY: 352
KERRY/EDWARDS: 186
If the August/September feeling would have stayed.
*chuckles*, most covered above, but Hawaii? And the polls don't mean crap once the election's been held, Bush was never ahead far enough to make up a 9 point gap.

Furthermore even that insane map above is still significantly below 400.
