Perhaps also a greater emphasis on the "moral" issues that seemed to decide the election (abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, etc). Working in the term "flip flop" is must. Importantly, I'd like to see more ways to personally attack an opponent, possibly with attacks that apply to only certain characters. The 2004 election was unbelieveably negative. Instead of simply having the option to say "My opponent supports/does not support (insert i

Agreed. The debates were such a big part of this election. I'd love to see the candidates go head to head. Primaries, third party and definately Al Sharpton!
Yes, the Dems are on the ropes right now. They need to spend the next couple years coming up with a solid plan to win back the White House. This is why I can't for the life of me figure out why so many Dems are already supporting a Hilary in 2008 idea. The 2004 election taught us that in order to win, you must get atleast a few Southern states. Kerry couldn't do that. Does anyone honestly believe that Hilary has a shot in hell at any southern stat
The very question shows an odd aspect of American politics. When most Americans commit a crime and claim they did it b/c they hear voices they are immediately institutionalized, often indefinately. Some are even put to death (or atleast were until recently). Yet when Bush commits a crime (Iraq war.

I agree fully. Personally, I believe the war on terror can't be won for that very reason. Take out all the leaders you want, as long as there are ppl who hate other people, terror will happen to one degree or another.
Listening to the speeches at the RNC, and especially Bush's own, I kept hearing the same things. Sept. 11th, "terrorism won't happen on my (Bush) watch", Bush has great resolve, and America will defeat terrorists. I have to say, I found this all most perplexing. I understand what they were going for, trying to show how immediately after 9/11 Bush showed resolve, etc. etc. But what I heard (and many heard) was the obvious negatives. <b
You may very well be right about Kerry losing. And that's a shame that religion is such a factor. Seems odd to me that these Catholics are against Kerry for his views on abortion, and therefore will most likely vote for Bush (if they vote at all) despite the hundreds, if not thousands of wrongful and senseless murders (by both Coalition and "Enemy" forces) to his name. I guess to these conservative religious people, it's reprehensible to abort a fet
