Yeah like the others said he was already being pushed aside by the party establishment for Kerry, and I don't think he would have won in the general either if for whatever reason he bounced back and won the primary. Most people were still in War on Terror-mania in 2004, and the rally behind the president effect carried Bush to the finish line.
