No.
Quick history especially for you: Pat Buchanon has made statements of a "Holocaust denial" nature in the past, and never disowned them. Pat Buchanon got a lot of votes in certain wards and precincts in Dade and Broward county that are overwhelmingly populated w/ elderly, (WW2 aged), Jewish seniors. Even he admitted at the time, "those are not my votes".
As the reporter that I quoted above said, "Yassar Arafat would have gotten more votes than PB in those precincts".
Each county, (precinct?), creates their own ballot in Florida, approved by the state election commisioner. (Katherine Harris in 2000, the chair-woman of the Bush/Cheney campaign in Fla.).
There were numerous complaints after the election that the ballot in some places was slightly confusing, in that the punch hole was next to instead of across from the candidate's name, etc....
Republicans claim that the seniors were "stupid" or "couldn't manage to vote", but they also tried to beat the doors down to the ballot counting rooms to stop the counting, used the courts, (successfully in the end), to stop the count, etc....
I would call Bush a frighteningly ignorant, corrupt and dishonest leader, but not a Nazi. That would be Buchanon. Sorry if I was not clear on that.
