Either the debates meant nothing or the majority of Americans were more on Bush's level mentally. It seems as if the average American can sympathize with Bush's simple mindedness and the fact that "he seems like a good guy to have a beer with." I believe most Bush supporters base their votes on Bush's so called "charm" rather than the issues.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I believe religion had a MAJOR role in his re-election as well. The same way Bin Laden gathers followers of Allah and uses that as a tool for war and murder, Bush uses Jesus to gather his followers to re-elect him so he may also continue his murderous mission for religious and personal gain.

So to answer you question, it all comes down to how you feel about the candidate personally rather than how you feel about his stance on issues. I don't believe this to be the case for all people, but the majority of your average Joes, which is quite unfortunate, but the sad reality.
