No, the country was far too polarized.

If the labor market was better, I could envision a Bush +8 or Bush +9 type scenario in 2004.

Either remove 9/11 from the equation or have him handle it better and you'd get that.

If Bin Laden had been captured right before the election, I can see this result occurring.

by Fall 2004 public opinion was about evenly split, with it being more of a liability than an advantage in North New England, Pacific Northwest, and probably MN and WI.

With a bin Laden capture and an even worse Democratic campaign (possibly with a different nominee), Bush could have achieved this result.

Delaware going Republican?  No.

Why not? In 2004 there was no Joe Biden on the ticket and Bush lost the state by only 7 points (53-46), just like New Jersey.

Of course, if you're saying Bush had a lower ceiling in Delaware....

Clearly the solution is to privatize presidential elections.

So, in less than four years, get excited for the 2016 MetLife Financial U Pick The Prez Extravaganza. If you tweet a picture of your completed ballot with the hashtag #ivoted, you could win a trip for two to the inauguration or an iTunes gift card.
