TP:US Elections on Day of the Dead:
It couldn't have been easier and should have been no contest. In a true democracy, if there was an incumbent who had undoubtedly lied about taking his country to war, bankrupted the economy, has a poor grasp of international affairs and is not well-educated (no matter what his diploma says), has isolated the country diplomatically from most major powers and international institutions, and implemented draconian domestic laws which trample on civil rights thus in effect establishing a de facto police state, such a person would have lost by a landslide. However, in just over a year the Democratic challenger, John Kerry, was somehow able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
"It wasn't so much that Bush won the election but that Kerry had lost it. "
