Perot's voters split pretty evenly as to who would be their second choice, if we had a sensible preferential ballot. But nearly ALL of Naders' voters polled as utterly despising all Bush policies while merely thinking Gore too compromising with business interests. ALL would have second choiced Gore. W ENTERED OFFICE WITH A CLEAR MAJORITY HAVING VOTED AGAINST HIS PROGRAM. Yet, he proceeded NOT to reach out, but to declare a MANDATE. Never ever meeting with opponents. Never reading any news but what's pre-digested by his handlers. Never reading books.
