During this election only four states changed their vote from the 2000 election those states were
Iowa; From Blue to Red
Florida; From Blue to Red
New Mexico; From Blue to Red
New Hampshire; From Red to Blue

The sad thing, only one state changed from Bush to Kerry, the others went from Gore to Bush. The funny thing, half of the states that changed are titled New (perhaps that comes from their New decision!) HAHAHA, sorry... The unnoficial thing, I know that Florida was for Gore but some people refuse to believe it. The predictable thing, many Bush supporters are going to say "Dude the election is over, get over it." The hateful thing, all the other states were so damn stubborn, I mean come on, the 2000 candidates were so different from the 2004 candidates (Yes that includes Bush.)

Officially, no, unnoficially yes. Bush rigged it, (that is why I put Florida under "the unnoficial thing) Even through a recount Gore may have won (thats including all the votes lost in the rigging process)

So yes you would be insane to say it it belonged to Bush (even if you dont believe Bush was rigging it but rather the system messed up somehow)

Iowa and New Mexico were won by less than 1% by Gore, this time they were won by less than 1% by Bush, not very significant shifts. New Hampshire was won by around 2% by both Bush last time and Kerry this time. Florida went from a near tie to a 5% Bush win, probably the best election result news for Republicans.

Bush won, by the narrowest of margins but he won. Its not like the New York Times was supporting Bush in 2000 and even they wrote that he won.

Democrats should have listened to their own advice and just Moved On...LOL

Well, the NY Times wrote that Bush won in one scenario. They also wrote that Gore won in several, but most people who supported Bush in 2000 conveniently leave that bit out.
