“The wonder of this race is not that it boiled down to several hundred votes in the state of Florida. It’s that it was a horse race to begin with. You have unparalleled prosperity, peace and a candidate who’s much more experienced running his fourth national campaign. And he blew it, in my judgment. It’s pretty deeply ingrained in Democrats that he blew this thing to an empty suit, an intellectually lazy frat rat who just happens to be the governor of Texas.”
-Garry South, strategist for California Gov. Gray Davis
