No, no, it wasn't Bush that did it (despite the fact that he led in all the major polls virtually from the Republican convention to November 2nd).

It wasn't values, either (no matter what those pesky exit polls say).

And it wasn't the ads, the money, or the get-out-the-vote efforts that beat him.

No, muses Senator John Kerry, it was that darned Osama tape that came out just before election day -- that's what did it, don't you know.

So you see, by Mr. Bush being re-elected the terrorists won!
