>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/30/04 9:25 PM >>> That's nothing in comparison to Gore inspiring more than 200,000 registered Democrats in Florida to crossover and vote for George W. Bush in the last election. The Democrats should not worry about the tiny number of Democrats who vote for Nader. They should try to figure out how to get Democrats to stop voting in massive numbers for Republicans. <<<<<>>>>>
re. florida dems voting for bush in 2000, believe i was first to make the point (among some others), in post-election articles in local 'orlando weekly' rag... about 87% of dem voters nationwide voted for gore, about 94% of rep voters nationwide voted for bush, reps have history of stronger voter loyalty... in florida, some of those who voted for bush have been voting rep for several decades, particularly true in panhandle where more than a few conservative 'dixiecrats' have maintained dem voter registration even though they consistently vote rep... fwiw: vice-prez position has not been a very good one for prez office seekers, only a few have been able to win election... of course, gore did win popular vote both nationwide and in florida, and he ran to left of dlc who whined about that being reason he 'lost'... ironically, in florida, gore lost if vote had been recounted *only* in 4 majority dem counties that his people cynically pushed for but he won if the entire state had been recounted... michael hoover -------------------------------------------------------------- Please Note: Due to Florida's very broad public records law, most written communications to or from College employees regarding College business are public records, available to the public and media upon request.
