Moved page to align with format of U.S. Presidential election, 2004, etc. see Talk:John Kerry presidential campaign, 2004 for more. jengod 00:00, Mar 11, 2004 (UTC)
Nice work Jen. -SV(talk) 03:22, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC) (links Bush campaign, Kerry campaign
I seek your input at Wikipedia:WikiProject POTUS Campaigns. Please come weigh in. jengod 23:06, Mar 19, 2004 (UTC)
It took me a while to guess what FY stood for. Would it be over the top for the first usage of it to have 'Financial Year (FY)'? Or to just replace FY with 'Financial Year' for each of the three occurances? Feel free to remove this message later.
Shouldn't there be at least some mention of other candidates that will be in the election? For example, Ralph Nader may end up being critical, as could possibly Libertarian candidate Aaron Russo. Rei 17:37, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
Will someone go through the "Issue positions" and pick out the ones which are actually stances from the current campaign, and not actions he's already taken, as well as NPOV and de-"he said, critics say" them? Thanks, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 19:22, 2004 Aug 4 (UTC)
Could someone still NPOV the issue positions? This is my first Wikipedia entry/edit and I would like to see how to improve writing in a neutral point of view. NeevaN
Should mention of campaign promises made in his previous campaigns and their outcomes be made in this article? Examples Promises kept and promises stalled- Philadelphia Inquirer Tue, Jan. 20, 2004 Rbsteffes 19:25, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Is this really the place for ridicule, especially without citation? I don't want to delete it offhand in reference to NPOV but it seems to me the Memorable Quotations part crosses the line.
If he said those things in the course of the campaign, then you are free to add them to the category. The category of "Memorable campaign quotations" is perfectly legitimate in this article. and an accurate quotation of Bush under that heading cannot be POV. If the quote makes him look bad, that is his fault for saying it, not mine for quoting it. You are free to add quotes that make him look good. Adam 12:27, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
The quote has been removed, as this is not an actual quote from Bush's campaign. The line was said at a bill signing, which is a presidential duty, which has little to do with Bush's re-election campaign. Idono 03:00, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Come along now. Are you trying to tell me that a public bill signing ceremony in an election year is not a campaign event? Adam 03:39, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
A campaign is a series of operations designed to bring about a particular result. President Bush did not sign a bill as an operation for his campaign, but as a duty of his status of President of the United States. Idono 03:47, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I conclude from that that you are either extremely naive about politics or else a Republican who doesn't want Bush's dopey quote to appear in this article. Adam 03:52, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I don't understand that it is so important for you that this quote be in this particular article. There are other articles about President Bush that this quote may be relevant in, rather than an article about his campaign for re-election.
This article is about Bush's campaign to be re-elected as the United States President in 2004. Do you not realize that this particular "memorable quote" on this subject is irrelevant? Perhaps a more relevant quote for this subject would be a quote where Bush is actually campaigning, not signing a bill. Being a citizen of a United States, and watching the campaigns of both President Bush and many other candidates, I can easily make sense of what President Bush does for his Campaign, and what he does to act as United States President. Idono 04:16, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
What total bollocks. Everything a President says and does in public during election year is campaigning. Please do not insult the intelligence of other users here. Adam 06:20, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Idono-- thank you for taking down that quote. It never did belong there. There is a difference between Presidential duty and campaigning, as you have acknowledged. Politics isn't everything. NeevaN
Adam-- Idono has never criticized your intelligence. However, I believe you criticized his when you said "I conclude from that that you are either extremely naive about politics..." If you are so intent on posting that quote on Wiki, put it in a relevant article. NeevaN 07:06, Aug 23, 2004 (UTC)
I guess we also need a section on Bush's stance on Iran. roozbeh 13:43, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)
George W. Bush presidential campaign, 2004 is a very unnatural page name. 2004 George W. Bush presidential campaign is far more likely to be linked as-is instead of being piped. Why the odd page name? --mav 19:20, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I noticed that ip68-10-25-55.hr.hr.cox.net [68.10.25.55] anonymously added a protected tag to the main article earlier today. Seeing no reason for this, I removed the protected tag, especially seeing as how it was done anonymously. Radman1 19:44, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I fail to see the relevancy and am inclined to strike this section altogether. I see that RickK has already struck a line or two. Can someone please argue in favor of this section to the 2004 presidential campaign? It appears to be pure speculation, IMHO. Radman1 22:08, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I have no problem with deleting the entire paragraph. RickK 22:37, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)

Ha ha, I can't believe this article actually devotes four paragraphs to discussion of the bulge. I wonder if anyone is really going to care about such trivia in 50-100 years from now. —Mike 08:01, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
I fail to see need for this article to include the information on Bush's refusal to respond to Project Vote Smart. Who will agree that this information should be removed? 65.100.247.168 02:02, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Considering the time-sensitive nature of a campaign, I don't know whether updates (see, e.g., the Iraq section) need updating so much as they need a revision of their verb tenses. Fearwig 07:25, 25 May 2006 (UTC) update: made some changes, namely phrasing for neutrality and tense.
Image:DebateBulge1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
