    Candidate Bills delivered a very thorough and in depth five paragraph order. SNC was very diligent in ensuring that all information and additional information was passed to the fire team, at one point causing SNC to stumble over his thought process, and pause for a length of time to recoup his thoughts before moving on.

    James Campbell in "Why Bush Won" emphasizes the need to look at the context in which the election took place and the need to look at campaign developments. The writer also lays out three campaign fundamentals that can help explain why President Bush narrowly won the 2004 election: public opinion of the candidate, election-year economy growth (or lack thereof), and the advantage of party and personal incumbency.
