<<"the fact that Pat Buchanan himself dismissed his 3,000+ ballots from Palm Beach is pointless" Pat seems to forget that his campaign co-chairman, Lenora Fulani, was campaigning for minority votes from November '99 June '00 down there. She could be responsible for 3000 votes.>> Truth is, both sides are Lying about this one, I heard Pat on TV and he said he couldn't see that all those 3000 votes should be his, indicating SOME should be, but not all.

Re: Pat seems to forget that his campaign co-chairman, Lenora Fulani, was campaigning for minority votes from November '99 June '00 down there. She could be responsible for 3000 votes. Moreover, if you balance those 3,000 votes against a total population (larger than the constituency) of 167,000+ Jews living in Palm Beach --not to speak of Broward County's 200,000 Jews, or Miami-Dade's 150,000-- then there's really no point in making such a fuss about 0.02% of them voting for Pat! Lieberman a key in luring Jewish vote BY MARK SILVA herald.com Excerpt: HEAVY VOTE Gore's allies count on Lieberman to inspire a stronger than normally heavy vote in Florida's robust Jewish community, among the nation's largest. Jewish voters account for a larger share of Florida's electorate than the nation's as a whole -- 6 percent in Florida, according to exit polling in the last presidential election, compared with 3 percent nationally. President Clinton drew 84 percent of this vote in Florida for his 1996 reelection. Broward County is a virtual province of the Florida Democratic Party. It is home to more Democrats than any other county, and Democrats outnumber Republicans by nearly 2-1. Broward is also home for more than 200,000 Jews, the largest population in South Florida, according to the American Jewish Yearbook. JEWISH POPULATION While Broward's Jewish population has declined slightly, Palm Beach County's has grown to 167,000, and Miami-Dade's is estimated at 150,000. Pollsters say Jewish voters turn out on Election Day in greater numbers than others. ``At least in the last few elections, it's been pretty heavily Democratic,'' said J.P. Monroe, political scientist at the University of Miami. ``That group of voters is going to naturally lean toward Gore. It's hard to see what kind of added advantage Lieberman will bring.'' [snip]
