Overview
No surprises as the Bush-Cheney ticket trounced Gore-Lieberman with a plurality of 198,300 votes (39.53 percentage points). Bush carried every county except Blaine. (County Commissioner Len Harlig explains: "Blaine County is the anomaly in the State. [It] has the highest per capita income in the State. It is home to the world-famous Sun Valley ski resort..."). The state did get one brief visit by principals during the fall campaign; on Sept. 18 Dick and Lynne Cheney participated in an airport welcome rally/RNC Victory 2000 event during a refueling stop in Idaho Falls, before heading to Seattle. Former First Lady Barbara Bush and DNC National Chair Joe Andrew also visited. |
