What if George W. Bush had once again lost the popular vote in 2004 (this time by a larger margin), but again won the electoral college by a slim margin? Would there be increased pressure on the electors to vote for Kerry? Would Bush not having a mandate from the American people after the 2004 election cause Bush to moderate (especially on foreign policy) or would he not change course in a second term? Would there be a stronger push to amend the constitution to get rid of the electoral college after 2004?


George W. Bush - 270
John Kerry - 268
