First, I'm trying to understand the logic not trying to pick a fight.
If the CPUSA candidate does not defeat Bush then their goal is not accomplished.
If Kerry does defeat Bush then their goal is accomplished.
If the first two assumptions come true then the third statement can't be true because it would be too late to cast a vote.

The argument in your new three statements is much better since it is more realistic, however in the academic sense it is still false logic since the first two statements are assumptions related to future events, rather than facts. Thus the third statement is only true should both of the first two assumptions come true. Consequently, the third statement is not true. = false logic.
The CPUSA does not have a candidate capable of defeating Bush.
Kerry is the only candidate that is capable of defeating Bush.
The only way they can accomplish their goal to defeat Bush is to vote for Kerry.
