U.S. Presidential Election: Papa Bush
built 805 days ago
The 2004 Presidential election may be not only a defining moment in American history, but ... a defining moment for the future of the United Nations. President Bush’s stark warning to the U.N. General Assembly that the world body faces a descent into irrelevance in the 21st Century and his decision to go to war against Iraq without the blessing of the Security Council have generated great resentment among the unelected bureaucrats of Turtle Bay.

The presidential vote starkly confirmed the divisions in the U.S. electorate that had crystallized in the 2000 election. The electoral map, broken down by counties, showed Kerry's support to be concentrated in urban areas on the two coasts and the upper midwest, and Bush's to repose in the rest of the country. Bush defeated Kerry by 57 to 42 percent in small towns and rural areas, and by 52 to 47 percent in the suburbs. In contrast, Kerry won cities with more than 50,000 people by 54 to 45 percent.

In Ohio, controversy about a specific Diebold Election Systems memo uncovered last year has all but stopped any plans to upgrade technology in the state. Diebold CEO Walden O'Dell wrote in a message leaked to the media that he would deliver the state of Ohio to Bush in November. Right now, polls show the state is up for grabs.

In the days leading up to the U.S. presidential election, Taiwan, like the rest of the world, was focused on the contest between George W. Bush and John Kerry. But Taiwan's media gave relatively little attention to the candidates' merits, unilateralism versus internationalism, the war in Iraq, the North Korean nuclear crisis, or even America's involvement in mediating Taiwan's relationship to the mainland. Rather, the U.S. election became yet another battleground in the intense war for voter support between Chen Shui-bian's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and its pan-green allies, and the pan-blue forces of KMT chairman Lien Chan and People First Party (PFP) chairman James Soong.

The United States presidential election of 2004 was held on Election Day, Tuesday, November 2, 2004. Republican candidate George Walker Bush, the incumbent President of the United States, was reelected over Democratic candidate John Kerry, the junior United States Senator from Massachusetts. Foreign policy was the dominant theme throughout the election campaign, particularly Bush's conduct of the War on Terrorism and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Even though the White House argued that Clarke's memoir was released to do the maximum political damage to Bush in a presidential election year, Clarke has said a required national security review of the book delayed the book's publication. McClellan said the review, a routine procedure that makes sure publications by administration officials do not compromise classified information or national security, was begun last Nov. 4 and completed in early February.
