I think the Bush campaign, in addition to the other factors noted, thought that they really had a chance of winning over Hispanic voters. Just in general, the Bush campaign in 2000 seemed really interested in bringing non-white voters into the GOP. A lot of GOP strategists at the time saw Hispanic voters as "values voters" who just had to be brought into the GOP fold and generally people thought that Bush was well-positioned to do that. I don't think they really thought they could win California, but it was probably part of their own "dream" scenario.
