PR Once Trumped Competence, but No Longer -- Thank Goodness for America
W. won the election in 2004 because his PR guy Rove understood that incompetence could be trumped with issues that would turn out the voters such as wrong-headed and ineffective Rambo tactics against Islamic fundamentalists which caused many Americans to think that something positive was being done and wrong-headed tactics against gay marriages which scared many Americans to the point that many of Americans voted for Bush even against their personal economic best interests. As such, Rove, the soon-to-be-indicated-criminal-and-Goering-propagandist-of-the-Bush-administration, was able to make competence a non-issue and thus insure the election of W. Now the utter and overwhelming incompetence of the Bush administration is coming home to roost. The emperor has no clothes and all of the king's horses and all of the king's men, can't put W. together again because they are under indictment.

This post shows clearly how Karl Rove drives the Left nuts. As long as liberals keep thinking that Rove is the genius mastermind behind Republican victories, this can mean nothing but goodness for us Republicans.
The fact of the matter is that, per exit polling, George Bush won the election because a majority of Americans thought he was more credible on two basic issues: Terrorism and Moral Values.
Kerry's flawed strategy was to attack Bush's policy on Iraq and to attack the economy. But Kerry's incompetence was exposed because (a) he did not have a viable alternative to Iraq and in fact he supported going into Iraq himself; and (b) although he did not wish to believe it, the economy was improving in 2004 and continues to improve in 2005 (despite Katrina, high gasoline prices, and lots of bad economic news).
The good news is that a majority of Americans did not fall for Kerry's nonsense. They did not want an America that defers to the United Nations for its defense and foreign policy ... and they did not want an America that is represented by Whoopi Goldberg's "F**K Bush" rants being characterized as "main stream American values" by Kerry himself.
