| − | When Senator [[John Kerry]] challenged President [[George W. Bush|Bush]] for reelection, three debates occurred between them. One Vice-Presidential debate occurred between Vice President [[Dick Cheney]] and Senator [[John Edwards]]. Bush did poorer than Kerry in the first debate by giving scowling expressions, while Kerry used the zinger, "the President has made, I regret to say, a colassol error of judgement." However, Bush got in better shape in the next two debates and even joked at one point after hearing an answer by Kerry, "that answer made me want to scowl." The Bush/Cheney ticket again won on election day, with an even higher majority than in 2000. | + | When Senator [[John Kerry]] challenged President [[George W.
