Bush Two: They liked his war on terror, and his moral stance. How Bush
topped his father, defeating Kerry on the strength of his strength.

Nov. 15 issue - The place to be in the White House was the Roosevelt
Room, where the portraits of patrician men of war—TR and FDR—stare
down from the walls. George W. Bush's staff gathered there on election
night to await the fate of their boss, who had anointed himself a
"wartime president" and run for a second term as one. The place was
fitted out with split-screen televisions and computers, its long
mahogany table filled with sandwiches and crudites. That evening a
distinguished houseguest came down from the residence to cheer the
troops: none other than the former president George H.W. Bush. "We're
going to win!" he told reporters lurking in the hallway.
