Whoah, okay, back to the topic.

Will the capture of Saddam help Bush? Yes, of course. Is the 2004 election a wrap? No, far from it. There is still plenty of time for the election to swing either way. However, at the very least Bush will not be a pushover. But, neither will the Democratic candidate (whoever he/she may be).

Personally, I'm waiting for the Democrats to extract their claws from each other, pick somebody, and run a campaign against Bush. For example, if Lieberman wins, Saddam's capture isn't going to hurt him (or help Bush) -- he was pro-war from the start. It might hurt Dean and Kerry. Clark -- who knows, depends on which position he eventually settles on, I guess. How much it will hurt them, I'm not sure. It still depends on how Bush intends to club them with it, I think

EDIT: Added the last sentence, "How much..."
