I mean, considering how close it was on election day.

And the reason it was so close was because the Democrats had forgotten their true base last election, and played too far to the right. (Or, as they were euphemistically calling it, the "middle.") I do believe that's why they lost voters to Nader.

Gore-Kerry would have been no different. What's changed for the Democrats is that their true progessive base has been energized and been able to mobilize around Bush's failed policies and immoral behavior towards US citizens and the world. John Kerry is be influenced left by that energized base.
