And that's the trick....make McCain out to be Bush III.  With the overt help of the MSM, it should be a piece of cake

Nah - - not even Bush I or II could be lampooned with that definition of marriage - - " the union of a man and a billionaire beer distributor who doesn't talk much"  - -  now that is uniquely McCain.

It's only the other 95 % of McCain that is Bush III material.

Don't think Cindy McCain is a billionaire. Kerry's wife Teresa is much closer to that figure. Say didn't Kerry get divorced too? And wasn't he a Catholic?

What's up with that?

Kerry wasn't angling for the conservative Christian vote.  And didn't get it either.

There is a good question .

What vote was Kerry expecting to get?

Other than the anti Bush , which anyone could get.

Part of the anti -Bush parcel these two sets overlap so much that the set of those that are not both is very small.

So all of these voters he was expecting to get were people wo were determined to vote against Bush before the Dem canadate was ever named?

This strikes me as a problem.

It looks like the number one appeal , but has it lost any freshness since Kerry?

Boy that sure worked out well didn't it?

Make the 2004 election about Iraq and what happened?

What's the problem?  That voters will vote on principle rather than personality?

I know what happened.  Republicans stole the election.  Again.

<<President Bush received the most votes of any US Presidential candidate in history.>>

So what?  that's only because of a big turnout.  His margin wasn't the biggest margin of any US Presidential candidate in history.  Besides a lot of the Democratic votes were sabotaged.  Bush was NOT a legitimate winner.
