Just because someone says something doesn't mean it is going to happen like that.

Although there is the existing possibility that things will not "happen like that" - your analogy doesn't work. Bush has endorsed the same messages as those coming from the people in the article. There is a higher degree of probability that he will follow through with that than there is in him distancing himself from it and therefore alienating the people that swung the vote his way.
But Kerry had never endorsed the anti-war message of pulling the troops out now. They voted for him (if they voted for him) even with the recognition that Kerry was already distant from them.
