I don't know if I would say that it would have turned out different for Bush vs. Kerry. I know plenty of people who generally vote Democrat that thought Kerry was nothing short of awful. Obviously that shouldn't be taken as a representation of every non-voter.......but I'm just saying.

Point taken. I guess I should have spesified that "if the Dems had put up a decent candidate, the non-voters forced to vote chould change things".
