2004: Bob Graham the Democratic Nominee

How would he do?

[brucejoel99]

Without a military record to defend (unlike Kerry) & having voted against the Iraq War (thus no ability to attack him for flip-flopping), he could probably win FL & thus the presidency. He'd also destroy W. in the debates.

[NewYorkExpress]

Bob Graham/Blanche Lincoln  269 EV
George W. Bush/Dick Cheney 269 EV

The House Selects Dubya easily, but the Senate narrowly selects Lincoln to serve as Vice President.

[Lechasseur]

Graham would have most likely won in 2004 and he most certainly would have won in 2000.

Gore and Kerry were simply weak candidates.

[VPH]

I think he would have been stronger than Kerry, probably winning Florida, Ohio, New Mexico, and Iowa. Graham was moderate, reached rural/WWC voters better than Kerry, and had a consistently anti-Iraq record that played well to the Democratic base.
