    The Power of a Promise, Host, Anthony Arnold
    Twenty years ago we had a pretty contentious election. Bush vs Gore was hotly contested, with the two candidates ending up separated by fewer than 600,000 votes, or .5 percent. And the fate of the election ended up coming down to the electoral votes from Florida, where the two candidates were separated by only 600 votes. Of course this was controversial because the state was governed by Jeb Bush, the brother of George Bush.
