Think about it. We wrote him off.
But he's moderate, a former Governor/current Senator, from Florida, likable in a grampappy sort of way, Southerny, and he opposed the war from the beginning, but from a practical, mainstream point of view.
I think he would've beat Bush. I really do. I brushed him off in the primaries, but looking back....damn. Am I crazy? Could he have worked? Would he have narrowed that gap in Florida? He was a popular Governor there. What about Arkansas, or Virginia? New Mexico? Arizona? Missouri? Ohio? We had the ABB vote no matter what....
I think we goofed.
