Eminem may have cost John Kerry the 2004 election

Eminem believes he could have cost US presidential candidate John Kerry the 2004 election.The outrageous rapper released his anti-Bush single 'Mosh' just before America voted in November 2004 in a bid to whip up resentment against the president.However, the outspoken star believes he could have won Kerry enough vital votes to swing the election in his favour if he released the controversial track sooner. He said: "I do have a bit of regret about that. We did our best to get it out as soon as we could. But do I wish it could have come out two weeks earlier? Yes."The hip-hop star also admits he regrets releasing 'Just Lose It' as the first single off his critically acclaimed fourth album 'Encore' instead of 'Mosh' for the sake of promoting his record.He said: "We were trying to get 'Just Lose It' out there first.We didn't want to get 'Mosh' out there and come off too political. Eminem's never been too political. I've never been the militant-type political rapper."
