It's not that complicated. This election is one guy who started the war vs. another guy who says we need to win the war. The only way the "defeat of President Bush will send a chilling message to future presidents" is if he's defeated by Nader

This election is about getting the terrorists of 9/11, of which none were from or supported by Iraq. If Kerry wins, it says Americans rejected the policies of the current administration who failed to get Osama Bin Laden "dead or alive" as promised, and want to pursue another course.
