Buchanan screwed it up. Lol. The stupid Florida ballot was confusing and a whole bunch of older Jews in southeast FL voted for Buchanan by accident. A close friend of mine called me nervous about it on voting day before any of it broke out in the national media.
Even Pat Buchanan has joked that he was very worried he would cost the Republicans the election by being on the ballot, but turned out his being there probably helped them win.
Edit: look at the Ballot on this page. They really believe a lot of people accidentally voted for Buchanan.
