There is a REASON your idol only got 1% of the vote in 2000. It is because Pat's supporters did not want Gore to win. They switched votes for Bush. If they were as rigid as Ralph Nader supporters Gore would be the president.
The real support for Buchanan might be about 30% of Republicans and 10% of Democrats. This would translate into 17% votes he got at one moment.
