The night of the 2000 election, just after Florida was initially called for Gore, James Baker did a remote on ABC and said he didn't think Gore had won FL because "that doesn't match what our intelligence on the ground is telling us". I remember thinking that was an odd phrase. Of course we had no way of knowing that Jeb's administration had purged the polls and paved the road for his brother.
