I suspect the number of people who suddenly decided to vote against Kerry when they heard of his intention to raise taxes (excuse me, "roll back tax cuts") for people making $250k or more can be counted on one hand. Nobody who prioritizes taxes that much was going to vote for him anyway (See, e.g., sgtclub). The small percentage of the small percentage of American voters in this category who would have voted for him anyway (Bill Clinton, Steven Spielberg, Steve Jobs and the like) aren't going to suddenly sit up and take notice "Oh shit, Kerry's going to raise my taxes, better vote for Bush."

Of course, the "tax cut" wasn't really a tax cut, because the AMT kicks in, and you're (well obviously, I don't know about you personally, but YKWIM) paying the same amount of taxes, just characterized a different way. Smoke and mirrors.
