479. I would love to see the statistics

Mon May 4, 2015, 08:48 AM

May 2015

giving the number of Democrats in Florida who defected and voted for Bush. There may be some registered Dems in the northern part of the state who did, but to my knowledge it was not a significant number in Miami-Dade.

Once again... there were numerous factors leading to the decision in 2000 and the votes for Nader did not single-handedly cost Gore the election. The votes he siphoned away, however, contributed to the situation and made it easier for the theft to occur.

I have stated I find Nader partially to blame. I believe his motives to run in 2000, unlike Bernie Sanders now, ws ego-driven and he relished the role of spoiler. While I question whether Sanders can win, I believe he entered this race to guarantee issues that need to be discussed are brought to the table.
