The main blame here isn't for Bush. It's for the 65% or so in Pinellas and Pasco counties who voted for Greer in 2004.

The blood is on their hands as much as Greer's.

Sorry, don't buy it. When the Bush brothers stand by and let it happen, they share in the blame. George Wallace had been elected by a majority of Alabamians - - that didn't stop JFK from sending troops to force Wallace to let a black man into his state's university. Kennedy didn't defer to local segregationist judges or the polls in Alabama.
