Why Bush Will Win

Nearly two in three likely voters who support President Bush -- 65 percent -- said they were "very enthusiastic" about their candidate while 42 percent of Sen. John F. Kerry's supporters express similarly high levels of enthusiasm for their choice, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News Poll.

That's a 23-point difference in relative excitement. Although the polling record is incomplete for earlier elections, the available data suggest that the enthusiasm gap in the 2000 presidential campaign was negligible, at best.


Enthusiasm doesn't just happen by itself. It reflects a more fundamental difference between voters' perception of Bush and Kerry. When individuals respect and trust a candidate they are not anxious about the present. When voters have hope that the same candidate will positively impact their (personal) future, they become very committed to him and the personal commitment brings about enthusiasm. Trust, respect, hope . . . enthusiasm. This is why Bush will win.

I personally can tell you from the rest of the worlds perspective we hope bush goes out, America is the most powerful country in the world but in reality how much power does one country need to be powerful enough to knock out another country, as technology advances so does the ability of country’s to acquire technologies, simply put if bush gets re-elected I can promise you there will be far more wars and its far more likely America will be bombed, I feel if not now.. At some time in the future our children will be studying bush and it will be seen as a black period in America’s history, children will learn about it and how that mistake should never happen again.

You want a fair America? You want a fair world? Vote Kerry PLEASE, because anyone who puts religion into politics and war is destine for a huge war one that nobody will win.

John Kerry is hands down the worst candidate ever to run for the highest office in the world. Coming on the coatails of the most disrespected president ever, Kerry would lead limply as did Clinton. Wil lhe "lease" out space in the White House? Will he take advantage of young women stirring for attention and a job promotion? What was the last bill that had his name on it? Oh, he wasnt there for it. He complains of the extended unemployment benefits that were struck down on the floor, yet he didnt show up for the vote? Please, democrats country wide, get a grip. Take the loss, move on and let the next Clinton try and come forth and embarass the United States, New York and every American alive. There's another winner. NOT!
