An election to the office of President of Afghanistan was held on October 9, 2004. Hamid Karzai won the election with 55.4% of the votes and three times more votes than any other candidate. Twelve candidates received less than 1% of the vote. It is estimated that more than three-quarters of Afghanistan's nearly 12 million registered voters cast ballots. The election was overseen by the Joint Electoral Management Body, chaired by Zakim Shah and vice-chaired by Ray Kennedy, an American working for the United Nations.
After some accusations of fraud circulated on the day of the election, at least fifteen candidates declared that they were boycotting the ballot, but the boycott dissolved when the United Nations announced it would set up a three-person independent panel to investigate the charges of irregularities. The panel included a former Canadiandiplomat, a Swedish electoral expert, and the third member was later named by the European Union.
The date was originally set for July 5, 2004. The elections were twice postponed, first until September, and then until October. Candidates for president also nominated two vice-presidential candidates. Some candidates used this to balance their ticket with regard to Afghanistan's three main ethnic communities. If no candidate had secured 50% of the votes, a run-off election would have been held. This was Afghanistan's first direct election. In 1965 and 1969, there were legislative polls, but those elections were indirect.

Presidential ad: “Windsurfing” George W. Bush vs. John Kerry [2004—ANGER]
“Windsurfing,” 2004
George W. Bush (R) vs. John Kerry (D)
Using video footage of Kerry windsurfing off the coast of Nantucket, Bush portrayed him as an unreliable “flip-flopper.”
Studies show that when it comes to political advertising, we feel first and think later. So the most impactful campaign ads aim for our hearts—fear, anger, hope and pride—and they run the gamut from stirring to downright dirty. I Approve This Message, an exhibition about the emotional impact of political advertising in a landscape altered by the internet, was scheduled to open at the New-York Historical Society in September 2020. The COVID-19 lockdown halted those plans, but we want to share a few of the exhibition’s ads, particularly as we head towards election day on Nov. 3, 2020.

The 55th Presidential election in American history took place on November 2, 2004. A lot had changed since the last election. Just 8 months after George W. Bush became President, terrorists attacked the United States. On September 11, 2001, they hijacked four planes, crashing two of them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and another into the Pentagon building. Passengers of the fourth plane regained control to prevent it from hitting its target, which was likely the White House or the Capitol Building. However, that plane crashed in rural Pennsylvania, killing everyone on board. In total, the attacked killed almost 3,000 people and the terrorists got exactly what they wanted- Americans were scared.
In response, George W. Bush took swift action declaring a War on Terror. (clip) Congress passed the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists, which pretty much gave Bush lots of leeway in going after those responsible for what became known as the 9/11 attacks.
Bush’s main objective was to destroy Al Qaeda, the terrorist group who took responsibility for 9/11. Many believed that the Taliban, the Afghanistan government at the time, was providing safe haven for Al Qaeda. Bush demanded the Taliban turn over Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders hiding out there or face attack. The Taliban didn’t cooperate, so Bush sent troops to invade Afghanistan and overthrow their government. Even today, the United States is still dropping bombs on targets in Afghanistan.
The War on Terror only got bigger. In 2003, Bush sent troops to Iraq to take over and overthrow their dictator Saddam Hussein. So what did Iraq have to do with 9/11? Well, not much, but the Bush administration claimed that Hussein was working with Al Qaeda and that they had weapons of mass destruction. But as it turns out, this was not true at all. The decision to invade Iraq was controversial, with protests in the street similar to the protests against the Vietnam War decades before. The initial overthrow wasn’t as controversial, but after Bush declared “mission accomplished,” basically saying the war was over, our troops stayed there to nation build. (no nation building clip) This proved to be very controversial, because as the United States tried to rebuild Iraq and have them establish a new government similar to theirs, it just wasn’t going so well.
As Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney both sought re-election, there was no end to the Iraq War in sight. Still, they remained popular within the Republican Party, especially after capturing Saddam Hussein, and were both easily renominated.
Many candidates fought for the Democratic Party presidential nomination, but really just three stood out to me as serious contenders. One was John Edwards, a Senator from North Carolina. Another was Howard Dean, the former governor of Vermont. Dean was the first candidate to really use the internet to his campaign’s advantage. His support was very grassroots and he had passionate followers. Dean stood out among the crowd because he was one of the few Democrats to actively speak out against the War in Iraq. But the media kept playing this over and over. And eventually his momentum just sort of fizzled out. The frontrunner throughout the Democratic primaries was John Kerry, a Senator from Massachusetts. Kerry was a safe choice for the Democrats- he had moderate views like Bill Clinton, but was probably more boring than Clinton. While Kerry had voted for the Iraq War, he had criticized Bush’s handling of it and preferred Bush used more diplomacy and less bombs. By Super Tuesday, no one else had a chance. John Kerry was the nominee. Kerry chose John Edwards as his running mate.
So it was George and Dick versus the Johns. Most of the talk leading up to the election was about foreign policy. On the campaign trail, Bush criticized Kerry as a flip flopper on issues and he tried to convince Americans that he was tough on terrorism. Just like Bush’s dad did with Dukakis back in 1988, Bush Jr. tried to convince Americans that Kerry was just another Massachusetts liberal.

The 55th episode in a very long series about the American presidential elections from 1788 to the present. In a post-9/11 world, Americans seem more afraid than ever for the 2004 election. #mrbeat #presidentialelectionsinamericanhistory #elections

The 55th Presidential election in American history took place on November 2, 2004. A lot had changed since the last election. Just 8 months after George W. Bush became President, terrorists attacked the United States. On September 11, 2001, they hijacked four planes, crashing two of them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and another into the Pentagon building. Passengers of the fourth plane regained control to prevent it from hitting its target, which was likely the White House or the Capitol Building. However, that plane crashed in rural Pennsylvania, killing everyone on board. In total, the attacked killed almost 3,000 people and the terrorists got exactly what they wanted- Americans were scared.
In response, George W. Bush took swift action declaring a War on Terror. (clip) Congress passed the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists, which pretty much gave Bush lots of leeway in going after those responsible for what became known as the 9/11 attacks.
Bush’s main objective was to destroy Al Qaeda, the terrorist group who took responsibility for 9/11. Many believed that the Taliban, the Afghanistan government at the time, was providing safe haven for Al Qaeda. Bush demanded the Taliban turn over Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders hiding out there or face attack. The Taliban didn’t cooperate, so Bush sent troops to invade Afghanistan and overthrow their government. Even today, the United States is still dropping bombs on targets in Afghanistan.
The War on Terror only got bigger. In 2003, Bush sent troops to Iraq to take over and overthrow their dictator Saddam Hussein. So what did Iraq have to do with 9/11? Well, not much, but the Bush administration claimed that Hussein was working with Al Qaeda and that they had weapons of mass destruction. But as it turns out, this was not true at all. The decision to invade Iraq was controversial, with protests in the street similar to the protests against the Vietnam War decades before. The initial overthrow wasn’t as controversial, but after Bush declared “mission accomplished,” basically saying the war was over, our troops stayed there to nation build. (no nation building clip) This proved to be very controversial, because as the United States tried to rebuild Iraq and have them establish a new government similar to theirs, it just wasn’t going so well.
As Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney both sought re-election, there was no end to the Iraq War in sight. Still, they remained popular within the Republican Party, especially after capturing Saddam Hussein, and were both easily renominated.
Many candidates fought for the Democratic Party presidential nomination, but really just three stood out to me as serious contenders. One was John Edwards, a Senator from North Carolina. Another was Howard Dean, the former governor of Vermont. Dean was the first candidate to really use the internet to his campaign’s advantage. His support was very grassroots and he had passionate followers. Dean stood out among the crowd because he was one of the few Democrats to actively speak out against the War in Iraq. But the media kept playing this over and over. And eventually his momentum just sort of fizzled out. The frontrunner throughout the Democratic primaries was John Kerry, a Senator from Massachusetts. Kerry was a safe choice for the Democrats- he had moderate views like Bill Clinton, but was probably more boring than Clinton. While Kerry had voted for the Iraq War, he had criticized Bush’s handling of it and preferred Bush used more diplomacy and less bombs. By Super Tuesday, no one else had a chance. John Kerry was the nominee. Kerry chose John Edwards as his running mate.
So it was George and Dick versus the Johns. Most of the talk leading up to the election was about foreign policy. On the campaign trail, Bush criticized Kerry as a flip flopper on issues and he tried to convince Americans that he was tough on terrorism. Just like Bush’s dad did with Dukakis back in 1988, Bush Jr. tried to convince Americans that Kerry was just another Massachusetts liberal.
“Windsurfing,” 2004
George W. Bush (R) vs. John Kerry (D)
Using video footage of Kerry windsurfing off the coast of Nantucket, Bush portrayed him as an unreliable “flip-flopper.”
Studies show that when it comes to political advertising, we feel first and think later. So the most impactful campaign ads aim for our hearts—fear, anger, hope and pride—and they run the gamut from stirring to downright dirty. I Approve This Message, an exhibition about the emotional impact of political advertising in a landscape altered by the internet, was scheduled to open at the New-York Historical Society in September 2020. The COVID-19 lockdown halted those plans, but we want to share a few of the exhibition’s ads, particularly as we head towards election day on Nov. 3, 2020.

Barack Obama, who was the Illinois Democratic Senate candidate at the time, delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, catapulting him into the spotlight. Obama famously said in the speech on July 27, 2004, "There's not a liberal America and a conservative America, there's the United States of America. There's not a Black America and White America and Latino America and Asian America, there's the United States of America."

An election to the office of President of Afghanistan was held on October 9, 2004. Hamid Karzai won the election with 55.4% of the votes and three times more votes than any other candidate. Twelve candidates received less than 1% of the vote. It is estimated that more than three-quarters of Afghanistan's nearly 12 million registered voters cast ballots. The election was overseen by the Joint Electoral Management Body, chaired by Zakim Shah and vice-chaired by Ray Kennedy, an American working for the United Nations.
After some accusations of fraud circulated on the day of the election, at least fifteen candidates declared that they were boycotting the ballot, but the boycott dissolved when the United Nations announced it would set up a three-person independent panel to investigate the charges of irregularities. The panel included a former Canadiandiplomat, a Swedish electoral expert, and the third member was later named by the European Union.
The date was originally set for July 5, 2004. The elections were twice postponed, first until September, and then until October. Candidates for president also nominated two vice-presidential candidates. Some candidates used this to balance their ticket with regard to Afghanistan's three main ethnic communities. If no candidate had secured 50% of the votes, a run-off election would have been held. This was Afghanistan's first direct election. In 1965 and 1969, there were legislative polls, but those elections were indirect.
A historic Afghan presidential election is blemished when all 15 candidates opposing US-backed interim PresidentHamid Karzai withdraw, charging the Government and the United Nations with fraud and incompetence.
