  United States presidential election, 1992 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As Governor of Arkansas for 12 years, then Governor Clinton could point to his experience in wrestling with the very issues of economic growth, education and health care that were, according to public opinion polls, among President Bush's chief vulnerabilities.
While in historical terms the recession was mild and actually ended before the election, the resulting job loss (especially among middle managers not yet accustomed to white collar downsizing) fueled strong discontent with Bush, who was successfully portrayed as aloof, out of touch, and overly focused on foreign affairs.
That election also brought the Democrats full control of the political branches of the federal government, including both houses of U.S. Congress as well as the presidency, for the first time since the administration of the last Democratic president, Jimmy Carter.

 AlterNet: Election 2004: State of Disunion
Ohio's 20 electoral votes give it more than all but six other states, and of those six, only two of them are up for grabs – Pennsylvania and Florida.
The way for a party to win an Ohio election, traditionally, is to win big in the most loyal of their five Ohios, not lose too badly in the other party's Ohios, and make swinging central Ohio, consisting of Columbus and its sprawling suburbs, their own.
The results are a state government dominated by Republicans that does business in a city completely dominated by Democrats that is housed in a Republican-controlled county.

In other words, Democrats have now come out into the open as disliking Bush, and the Republicans embrace him, and the election is going to be twofold: One for the independent vote, about 27 percent of the people declare themselves as independents.
In every election in which an incumbent runs for reelection, the election is decided by an up-or-down vote on the incumbent.

 Welcome to The American Presidency
Indeed, during the 1998 election cycle, when Republicans throughout the country were being punished for their emphasis on the Clinton scandal, Bush remained carefully silent on the issue and distanced himself politically from the more controversial conservative leaders in his party.
As a result special congressional committees were formed to investigate the validity of the evidence relied on by the administration.
A surprise result from the exit polling conducted by research groups was that "moral values" factored significantly in voters' choice of Bush over Kerry, a substantial number of voters preferring the conservatism of the Republican over the centrist social positions taken by the Democrat.

While Democrats might ignore Ohio in the run-up to the primary, the state will be one of the keys to the general election in November.

Having an instant runoff system of election (which has been instituted at the local level and has some grassroots momentum to expand it) would in some ways mean the general election and primary would become rolled into one.
