From the Paper:

"On November 2, 2004, incumbent Republican President George W. Bush won reelection by over three and a half million votes, stunning John Kerry and the Democrats. Bush took the so-called "red" states for a number of key reasons, not the least of which is his firm policy on national security. However, as Election Day approached, voters tuned into another major aspect of Bush's policy: moral values. Moral values turned out to trump matters of foreign policy for many voters, and probably earned Bush major gains in certain demographics like Hispanics and women. The President's policies can be loosely filed into three main categories: issues of national security and defense; moral values; and the economy. On all these issues, Bush receives a considerable amount of criticism and applause."
