In planning strategy for the 2004 election both parties look at the results of the 2000 election to give them idea of where they stand. For Republicans, Iowa, New Mexico and Wisconsin are states they lost narrowly and they are working hard to overcome those losses.
Apparently the GOP has added Florida to the list of states that they lost in 2000 and must to more to win this year
Robert Novak, best known for outing a CIA operative, recently wrote "Florida Republicans also are worried that the new voting machines may give Sen. John Kerry some 15,000 votes that Al Gore lost in 2000 because of ''overvotes.''
So there you have it. The GOP views Florida as a state they lost by 15,000 (yes, thousand) votes in 2000. The GOP will try to argue that the votes were properly thrown out and that they won. That's kinda like a convicted felon freed on a technicality claiming innocence.
