59. Do you really think
that there are a lot of Republicans who will vote for an anti-war candidate? Look at the polling numbers re: Republican/Democratic support for the war.

As for not knowing Gore voters who will vote for Bush, I know many and I named a few for you. However, individual voters aren't the issue. Categories of voters are. Koch speaks for many democrats. Ron Owens speaks for many, many swing voters. Believe it or not, Miller's endorsement will carry significant weight with many voters who traditionally vote Democratic. The only "conservative" votes that now look like they may not go to Bush are Buchanan conservatives and, as 2000 showed us, there just aren't all that many of them (and what there are will probably either stay home or vote 3rd party rather than voting for the Democratic candidate).
