Following is a link to Bush's first campaign advertisement for 2004.
It's both funny and effective, I think. It makes Howard Dean look like a raving maniac and an anti-Christian bigot.

Note the contrast between the speeches on the tvs and the announcer.

Of course, Dubya did break the rules and not moderate his positions when he barely got elected, which probably played a very big role in provoking the acrimony that now prevails in Washington and is evinced in the speeches of his political opponents.

But we don't expect such candor from election ads anyways, the point is to rally up good Christian Republicans by pointing out how Dean has used rhetoric from the other side of the cultural wars to rally Dems.

Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."

I think it highly likely that Bush won the election in the early morning hours of November 14. The capture of Saddam, along with a possibly rebounding economy, will make it a hard-run for the Dems.
It will be even worse for Democrats, if Saddam sends up talking (to save his life), and sometime in September or October Bush finds his evidence of weapons of mass destruction.

Or what if Saddam talks and it comes out that he really didn't have any WMDs to speak of and he describes how he really couldn't have used the WMDs he did on his citizens and the Iranians if we hadn't been such good allies with his country back in the 80s.

Saddam's war trial could end up being quite embarrassing for the US.
