Untitled[edit]

How come bush got less than 100% in some places that had no opposition?

And did some states really not bother holding primaries? BillMasen (talk) 15:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delaware?[edit]

What happened in Delaware? There's no mention of the state in this article. Chadlupkes (talk) 20:22, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

I say we should merge this article with the main article of US 2004 Presidential Election.--Jerzeykydd (talk) 01:17, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Even though we had an incumbent president (Bush) sweep the board, I still favor having this separate detailed list page displaying all the primary results and how many delegates were allocated to each state. Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:27, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Map of Contests Won[edit]

It might be helpful to have a map of the contests won in the infobox to make it easy for readers to understand that this was a lopsided contest. If someone has the know-how to create it that would be appreciated. That also might alleviate some of the concerns folks have had about the infobox looking weird and distorting text. Most infoboxes for these contests include a map.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 19:51, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Including the second place finisher in the Infobox[edit]

A few years ago in this 2017 RfC on the Elections and Referendums project, it was decided that generally only candidates who receive over 5% of the popular vote should be included in an infobox. The one exception to that rule was where that would result in only one person being in the infobox (as is now the case here). It was decided that in that case the second place candidate (whatever their share of the vote) should be included. This issue is now being discussed again concerning Trump in the 2020 Republican Primaries. One would think if Bill Weld is to be included in the infobox there, we should be including the second place finisher here. Not doing so, suggests Bush ran unopposed, which is not true. There is also an ongoing RfC revisiting the 2017 RfC consensus editors may wish to consider the positions expressed there and offer their own opinion. Unless, that consensus changes all second place finishers should be included here and elsewhere.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 20:24, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined to be candidates?[edit]

I am not sure why these candidates are here, there's no source on any interest or anyone thinking about them running.. Judge Roy Moore seems oddly placed here--68.224.97.23 (talk) 05:31, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just something I want to note here for the historical record[edit]

When I first added Bill Wyatt to the infobox back on 12 March 2020, his colour, 53e349, was decided using the random.org Hex Color tool. Koopinator (talk) 13:39, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"beating back the vacuum of challengers"[edit]

LOL... funny choice of words, but encyclopedic? 2003:DA:C70E:D100:98C4:613A:9F20:42B0 (talk) 04:17, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
