Let's say John Kerry runs a better campaign, doesn't make quite as many embarrassing gaffes, handles Bush's Swiftboat attacks better, and wins the presidency in 2004. Where do things go from there?

And to those who say this is ASB because Kerry was a weak candidate who couldn't possibly have won: yes, he was a terrible candidate who ran a terrible campaign, but it's not like Bush was a fountain of charisma either. Kerry was actually leading in the polls in the summer of 2004. Despite running one of the worst campaigns in recent memory, he very nearly managed to defeat Bush, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility that he could have done so had a few more things gone his way.
