What it says; who would win in 2000?  Would Florida be less controvercial?  And would the GOP do better in Congressional races?  Post maps and discuss.

Also, would he have acted on the August memo?  What would that mean for neoconservatism?  Iraq?  Discuss :P

Connie Mack would be less controversial as nominee than Bush, although he would lack Christian Right machine at Iowa and other states...
