Electronic voting machines owned by a Bush supporter who publicly declared he would "deliver the election the Bush". There is no way to check them and nothing to look at to see what really happened. The machines are very easy to manipulate. In 9 out of 10 "swing states" where the votes were too close to call, the only state where Bush didn't win was Oregon, where voting is 100% paper - vote- by- mail ballot. There the exit polling was dead on accurate, where in much ofthe rest of the country, for the only time in history, the exit polls showed one candidate clearly winning when in fact the opposite occurred. In any other nation, this would be the evidence for a fraudulent election. Many fraudulent elections have been daylighted this way.
In the US, everyone yawned and turned the channel to see what else was on TV.

Well in 2000 many are going to say he didn't win the election. Gore had more popular votes than he did and the Florida ballots were all out of wack. As far as 2004, we were (and still are) in the middle of a war, and a lot of folks don't like changing leaders in the middle of a war...

First, a lot more people liked Bush before he settled into office and got into his whole unchecked-power play. Secondly, because of the attack on 9/11/2001, Bush was able to play the "fear" card, with misleading advertisements like "there are wolves out there" (the "intelligence cut" isn't referring to after 9/11, but after a more minor, 1990s attack). It gave a lot of voters the false impression that their choice was Vote Republican or Die.

The first time because Gore was unlikable.....and that was a very close election. The second time for a couple of reasons, traditionally, democrats are weak on defense, and the War on Terror was well underway and the US citizens felt that Bush would be the right man to lead our military, and John Kerry was such a stiff and a flip flopper that he just looked very silly at times. Also, he is too much of a leftist even by some of the democratic standards.

Because for the last 2 elections, Democrats nominated losers. If Democrats had nominated reasonably good moderate candidates, Bush would have lost. Even Joe Biden might could have won.

Btw, I live in Miami, FL. the newspaper here recounted the ballots from the 2000 election into April 2001 and determined that George. W. Bush won in Florida. Since the paper is fairly left wing, I think that says bundles.
oh

The voters liked him better than Kerry and Gore.
Often in politics, many find they do not like either candidate but vote for the lesser evil.
