Abstract

Florida was the South’s lone battleground state from start to finish of presidential campaign 2004. In this critical battleground state, there was never a clear break between the end of presidential Campaign 2000 and the beginning of Campaign 2004. As one ended with a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, the next began. Each major party was intent on proving that its candidate really won the Sunshine State in 2000. Even the intervening gubernatorial election in 2002, featuring incumbent Republican Jeb Bush running against Democratic newcomer Bill McBride, was viewed as just a temporary blip in the seamless campaign season that stretched from December 2000 to November 2004.
