I think Bush is going to loose. You probably didn't watch the recent debate? I read a synopsis in Time and it seems Bush couldn't quite defend his actions (especially in Iraq) as well as Kerry could attack them.

I hope Bush wins. This war on terror, as he said from the beginning, is going to be long and hard. I don't think Americans can stomach it. Our Code of Conduct states, "I am an American Soldier, serving in the forces which guard my country and, our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense." The "our way of life" sticks in my craw. Americans are a very spoiled: they want their freedoms and their consumer goods and anything that threatens either is anathema, so many times, inaction is the preferred choice.
