The only problem that John Kerry had was that the marketing team watching over Bush & Co is far better at sleazy salesmanship.


The Bushistas do excel at sleazy propaganda, and the GOP has been hammering away at the same propaganda since Reagan.


Yet I think the issue for voters was more about the learning curve. Bush was already in office, and his Neocon team were facing all the daily war on terror and Iraq stuff. Most people didn't want to risk Kerry's learning curve, or see what the new "coach" would do during the middle of a game. The old "don't change horses while crossing a stream" motive.
