OK, then I don't understand what you mean by this I guess: "Ralph
Nadir was NOT the difference (Numerically) in any state between Bush
and Gore when you subtract out Pat Buchanan."

When you take Buchanan out of the mix (or even give his votes to Bush)
Nader was the difference in Florida and New Hampshire. If you assume
most Nader votes go to Gore, Gore wins Florida and New Hampshire.



There was also some evidence or at least a reasonable
argument that some of the Buchanan vote in Florida
was intended for Gore, but got diverted by a messy
ballot layout.
