In 2000, Buchanan left the Republican Party and announced his intention to seek the [[Reform Party]] nomination for President.  He easily won the Reform Party nomination over his main rival for the nomination, [[John Hagelin]], but carried only about 1/4 of 1% of the votes in the general election, coming in fourth place behind [[George W. Bush]], [[Al Gore]], and [[Ralph Nader]].  Ironically, however, the placement of his name on the [[butterfly ballot]] in Palm Beach County, [[Florida]], probably provided [[George W. Bush]] with his margin of victory due to [[Democratic]] voters mistakenly selecting [[Pat Buchanan]].
