SNAPSHOT
After a long battle with U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., President George W. Bush won re-election as president of the United States on Election Day - November 2, 2004. Bush won with about 51% of the vote, to Kerry's 48%. Minnesota was one of a handful of swing states nationwide. After dozens of visits by the top-of-the-ticket candidates and their surrogates, it was Kerry who won Minnesota with 51% of the vote.

In winning the nomination, Kerry survived several shake-ups of his campaign after former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean spent most of 2003 as the frontrunner. But the Iowa caucuses, and an ill-timed scream, doomed Dean, and forced out Sen. Richard Gephardt. And Kerry rolled on Super Tuesday.
