WASHINGTON -- Nearly one-fourth of President George W. Bush's supporters in Tuesday's election considered voting for Sen. John Kerry, but they stuck with the president because of concerns about terrorism and moral values, postelection polls show.
Kerry's missed opportunity is just one of the nuggets that political strategists have found while combing through the rubble of the presidential campaign. Both sides are taking a hard look at postelection polls to determine what they did right and what they did wrong.
With the benefit of hindsight, it's now clear that if terrorist chief Osama bin Laden intended to hurt Bush by popping up just before the election, he failed.
Kerry made a big mistake when he dragged Vice President Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter into the third presidential debate, the studies showed. (Magatsu's comment: that was a biggest spin ever media created but whatever)
For Democrats, one of the most frustrating findings is that 24 percent of Bush's supporters said they could've gone for Kerry.

Almost 25%. In other words, 24% of Bush voters are reachable shows that we will have a chance to exploit Bush's failures starting in 2006. Yup. Do the math on 24% of so-called 59,000,000. Roughly 14 millions voters. Think about it
Edit: I am out for hiking with friends. Have a nice weekend, all of you.
