13. And he would have won by 80,000 had 30,000 FL Dems not voted Bush
There were at least 30,000 FL Dems who voted for Shrub in 2000. If even those voters had voted the party line, it would have helped Gore.

This is proof, again, that Nader played an insignificant role in the whole Florida fiasco. Gore could not appeal to those other 30,000 Dems who voted for Shrub, so what does that say about his campaign? It was poorly executed, poorly led, and constantly played catch-up to Shrub, instead of playing off the popularity and success of Clinton.

The only person who lost for Gore in 2000 was Gore and his campaign. Now, can we PLEASE move on to this year already?
