That's overestimating the power of Governor's in the activities of individual counties; each county designates the composition of ballots and and he certainly didn't have any final say or a role in there design, or control over how stupid or lazy voters could be, when voting for their particular choice of candidate. If a voter can't or won't bother to distinguish if it was Pat Buchanan or Al Gore or not check before leaving the voting booth, that is hardly Jeb Bush's fault. But then again that is a minor detail when it comes to the feckless and irresponsible hacks who refuse to understand that voters are fickle and indifferent to the consequences of the outcome until it's too late. Maybe people need to be reminded that it is a established fact that Secretary of State, Katherine Harris had oversight over the electoral process and the U.S. Supreme court through its ruling, the final outcome. There's another gem that's been overlooked, why couldn't Al Gore not win one single southern state? Had he carried either Arkansas or Tennessee or both, then Florida wouldn't have taken center stage. Maybe you are going to say it was Jeb Bush's fault that Al Gore didn't win the south. Perhaps they knew something that very few other folks knew about, that he was an overbearing arrogant bore and a phony into the bargain.

I rest my case...probably some dumb assess took voting for 1 quite literally;  so it's definitely a no brainer to beating that dead horse to death. Anyone can try. But the facts simply are that, the facts!
