abstract
| - The United States presidential election of 2004 was held on Tuesday, November 2, 2004, to elect the President of the United States. It was the 55th consecutive quadrennial election for President and Vice President. Republican Party candidate and incumbent President George W. Bush defeated Democratic Party candidate John Kerry, the junior U.S. Senator from Massachusetts and Reform candidate John Hagelin of Iowa, the 2000 VP candidate. Foreign policy was the dominant theme throughout the election campaign, particularly Bush's conduct of the War on Terrorism and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The election would be marked historically with the choice of National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice to replace then incumbent Richard Cheney. Rice's choice would be the first time that an women and an african american to be chosen for a major parties ticket. This choice would hurt the Democratic Kerry/Edwards ticket and would spoil there chances for victory. This would also be a year that the Reform Party was in decline as the Hagelin/Nader ticket would garner only 6% of the vote and would win no states, coming close in Alaska and doing well in Maine and Minnesota. New Mexico would stay it's alliegances to the Democrats in the 2004 election as in certain areas more than expected hispanic voters came out and voted for Kerry, thus gaining the nail biting close state of New Mexico.
