Graham would have given Gore Florida by 54-55%. Nelson would have kept it close.

That would make FL the 2nd most Democratic state in 2000.

Read what he said. It said, "given Gore Florida by 54-55%" That means Gore wins by over 50% there.

Yeah, but Gore won by over 60% in New York and Rhode Island, so how it could possibly be the second most Democratic State?

Gore only won NY by 25%.

Oh, now I see what you're thinking. I think he means 55% of the vote would have been for Gore.

Anyway, it still wouldn't be the second most Democratic State. It would be the most.

I figured that, I'm just in a pointing out typos mood. And DC went for Gore by more than 55%. 89-9.

Yes, and so did NYC. Neither one of them is a State.

DC has separate EV's. For purposes of elections, it's a state.

It is, for purposes of elections, treated like a State. It is not, for purposes of elections, or purposes of anything else, a State.

Um...it is or it isn't treated for purposes of elections like a state?

Anyway, stop splitting hairs.  I think that as DC is worth 3 EVs in the election, which Gore won, then Akno21's point stands.

It doesn't matter anyway, we were talking about Florida.

I should get the "Goes Off Track" award.
