and around the time of the "election," I did a session using both pendulum (yes/no) and online tarot cards for the coming 4 years. You can see the Tarot spreads and interpretations by clicking the links. Each question is informed by the info given before it. I've learned all questions must be phrased in a literal fashion to get an accurate answer. The * equals a word that rhymes with "his ASS in." (deep kimchi) Maybe this can throw some light on the details in your Tarot spread:
1) Will John Kerry win the election? YES
2) Will John Kerry win the 2004 Presidential election (Tarot)?

Four of Pentacles (Power), when reversed: Using your power freely for your own enjoyment and the betterment of others. Coming to grips with progress and using your position to help it along. Finding security and identity someplace other than in the possession of material things. Letting go and encouraging others to find their own path. Being magnanimous and generous with your success.
(There was more but I can't find the extended file at this moment. Basically it said that both Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama would be U.S. president at some time. Howard Dean would not.)
