Buddy Can You Spare a Dime McBride can't even afford a desk for his new campaign office. Maybe Holland & Knight Law firm which he merged into the ground will have a spare desk for BM since they are downsizing for the first time in their history.

And of course, McBride told the St. Pete Times that it wasn't his fault because he wasn't the manager. Oh, really? Since 1992, he was the ceo and top partner in Tampa/St. Pete. He's just another dem re-writing history to get out of a tight spot.

A man without a desk who won't even spring for one does not have the scruples or desire to be in high office. He needs a receptionist too and is asking for one by email. LOL

Oh, and he has a black eye for real right now from coaching little league. He has NO TRUCK and his ship doesn't look like it's going to come in by the luck he's having lately. LOL

T2000 Bush (W)

2004 Bush (W)

2008 Bush (Jeb)

2012 Bush (Jeb)

2016 Bush (P)

2020 Bush (P)

A dynasty fantasy. Tomahawk, you've got that right! P. wins by a landslide! You forgot X-41, though, George Herbert Walker Bush. Shame on you! LOL

Im really gald that Jeb is emphasizing his Conservative philosophy more, sometimes it gets lost in the transition! :)

[MonroeDNA]

Play nice. We all want him re-elected. 11th commandment time.

[MonroeDNA]

Thanks for the bump! This is going to be gooood....Please, PLEASE let Janet-the-planet win the dem primary.

The long memories are waiting in the wings.

One of the 535 Vousia county votors (now in Broward) who did what it took.

GO JEB!!

[Howlin]

Who said I don't want him elected? I just think these threads confuse people.

[Miss Marple]

Now, Howlin, if you see that summer posted it, you know it's about Jeb! :-)

I think Jeb may be a secret weapon for W. Glad to see he is rarin' to go!

[Howlin]

Oh, that I know. I'm just pointing out the obvious. They are NOT the same.

[BunnySlippers]

The way I would normally do it is title: "[Jeb] Bush's quiet run for reelection switches gears for showdown" which is the true title and it is technique that is used in most editing.

[TC Rider]

There are so many slams in this piece, they can't all be mentioned.

Maybe we should give em a little break. I sensed the author was mere words from breaking out in tears and a true BWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAHHHAAAAAAAA.

His inner child has already accepted the reality of Jeb as Governor for another 4 years, his irrational democrat side is in denial.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Did Jay really say that to Janet??? LOL!

''We will not step back when the Democrats start harping about how these changes have not made a difference,'' he declared. ``The facts are that they have.''

All that and barbecue pork, too. (^:

Oh, I suppose I'm a little too sensitive about these things, but it still torques me to see it. I think a reporter covering a political story should bend over backwards to make sure the reader can't determine whether the reporter is liberal or conservative.

I went back to the Heralds archives and read some of his other work on Bush. Everything else seemed pretty fair and balanced. He reminds me a bit of a local political reporter here in Raleigh. Our guy tries to be fair, but you know he's a bleeding liberal. (OK Tarheels, who am I talking about?)

The article in question seems to be a larger profile piece that they are doing on all of the candidates. Maybe in a longer format his true feelings start coming out.

Did you notice that Jeb has it posted on his web site?

[floriduh voter]

It doesn't really matter who Jeb's opponent is. When they have televised debates, JEB WILL WIN ANY DEBATE HANDS DOWN. He's one of the most adept public speakers I've ever heard. We've heard "Janetspeak" and McBride was tagged McBoring after he gave a speech last year at the Fla. Dem Convention.

But, even so, Jeb supporters aren't taking anything for granted. Especially AFTER the election. Legal challenges no matter what the margin of victory, may be in Florida's future once again.

That's why Jeb Bumper Stickers are important starting now. The more undecideds we can put in Jeb's column early on the better.

Everybody needs to contact joe brower to get a free bumper sticker or contact jeb.org to get stickers and do something for the Bush/Brogan campaign!

Thanks for your interest. This will be the race to watch for this election cycle in addition to the S.D. race. If Thune the pubbie could beat Johnson the dem, then Tommy Daschle IS NO LONGER SENATE MAJORITY LEADER. That's why Dubya went to S.D. last week! Per my aunt, there are non-stop TV ads from both candidates.

Sorry, Howlin, I didn't mean to imply that at all. My bad, if it came across that way!

Freegards!
