Can somebody please explain this to me? It *still* baffles me.

It is a very good question. I have asked myself that question many times and I am still baffled, but then again, read some of the answers you have already received and it is easy to come to a conclusion. We definitely deserved what we got!

I puzzled an same project, and then as immediately as i stumbled on a Democrat who voted for him in 2004 i replaced into perplexed. His reason? He needed Bush to end the interest he began. Many presidents who're serving by way of the time of a wartime finally finally end up getting re-elected to proceed the interest they are doing. Plus Kerry wasn't fairly that reliable of an opponent fairly. Nixon replaced into re-elected besides... what does that say too?

there are some who claim they didn't...voter fraud, voting machine manipulation, registered voters being told they had been disqualified, etc. perhaps the most curious thing about the last presidential election is the under reported accounts of what was going on the evening of that election day. specifically, preparations for a speech by bush conceding the election. frantic communications from rove's "command" center to key precincts in the battleground states. and curious system "failures" in Florida and Ohio. (that last one has still gone unexplained)

That is the question, isn't it?
My best guess? We're in the middle of a war, and no incumbent war president has ever been defeated. Some nonesense about "changing horses in mid-stream." And John Kerry wasn't the most charismatic of fellows, either.

ah
I don't thinlk they know themselves
.
but.
people don't like to be wrong, nor do they like being made fools of.
that is what has happened here. So we will find all kinds of excuses, even given that most know that a huge mistake was made.
Even after the first term, the truth was no more than a breath away.
But there are STILL those who remain and who are still waiting

The John Kerry - John Edwards ticket endorsed by Hollywood guaranteed Bush would be re-elected.

Bush supporters voted for him the second time. Conservatives voted for him because they aren't Democrats. Moderates voted for him because he wasn't Kerry.
What is baffling is that Liberals still haven't gotten their brains wrapped around this.

They were not voting for Bush so much, as voting against John Kerry.

Look at who was running against him.
Sure, Bush has made a lot of mistake. He's waging an ineffective war, not defending our borders and advoctagin amnesty for illegal aliens.
Still, you think KERRY could have done a better job? Hell, I'd have elected a goldfish over that spineless lib.
So, you see, I didn't vote for Bush: I voted against Kerry.

No one in their right mind would have put John Kerry in the White House.
