Environmental activists are pressing that very case as they seek to sway the ultimate swing state, where Nader received 97,000 votes four years ago — far more than Bush's 537-vote margin of victory. Thousands of those votes may have come from environmentalists angry at Gore's failure to denounce a proposed airport next to Everglades National Park, some of his advisers have conceded.
This time, Bush hopes to attract some of those votes — pointing, among other things, to the $1 billion the White House says it has spent on the Everglades under his watch.
But the most vocal environmentalists call that unlikely. They say this race presents the starkest imaginable contrast between environmental visions.
