You are running headlong into a Zot!, CaliPap...what can I do to help?

Your bullet points, which you probably wish were real bullets but aren't, are distinctly unimpressive in this context.

None of them alter the fact that Kerry nearly defeated Bush, I think because of the MSM. While some of the points do indeed reflect well on the Republican effort, they merely help to explain why Bush managed to eke out a victory. They do not change the fact that he almost didn't -- in other words, that the election was uncomfortably close, especially for an incumbent with a decent economy and an unattractive, very liberal opponent.
