I've been thinking about this a lot from last night, and I can only come to the conclusion that the term popular vote is a misnomer in this case.
It wasn't that Bush was more popular. Its that Kerry just did not come across as a strong viable candidate.
His generalities about his plans did not inspire confidence. His past records in the senate absolutely killed him.
Most American's wanted a change, you could feel it and taste it. Kerry didn't bring enough to the table strength wise to make a change.
