Campaign
Clavelle attempted to link Douglas and President George W. Bush with bumper stickers saying "Jim = George". Douglas countered this by a willingness to criticise the national Republican party, such as over the Bush administration's environmental policies.
The two main candidates faced each other in 18 debates during the campaign.
