New contest - Cryptic Puzzle

Okokok
Here is the cryptic puzzle:

In the last Presidential Election year we voted in Bush / This Presidential
Election year, the choices will probably include Bush again / This time, the
Valentine's Day Factor is different, whereas the St. Patrick's Day Factor
remains the same / What a difference a day makes, not to mention four years.

First response that I deem to be "close enough to be considered correct" will
win a prize. My decision is final.
Email replies / guesses to:

The way you have this structured, it's just for in-the-know folks.

Can you share some info so that the rest of us can play?

There you go, Mr. Kamins. You now know as much as the rest of us. ;-)

'cryptic is as cryptic does'

The solution may involve leap day/leap year. But even then, both
Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day fall on different days of the week in
2004 than they did in 2000.

Oh. I get it. The question itself is - d'uh.

It's not the day of the week that is relevant, but the distance between the
days.

year unless you live on Mars.

Oh no it weren't neither- if the year is evenly divisible by 400, then
it's not a leap year. 2000 wasn't and neither will 2400 be. It sounds
crazy but it's true.

Oh yes it was to. )

Every fourth year is a leap year except for century years that are NOT
divisible by 400.
