The Florida Education Association last Wednesday began a multi-million dollar campaign in McBride's behalf. The announcement by the state's Democratic Party that it will pay for TV ads by the party's contenders may help Reno.

The NEA at work. Teachers, watch your paychecks! You can re-direct that money rather than letting it go to Dims.

Better yet, teachers, bail out of the NEA (your conscience will thank you) and join the Association of American Educators. You'll be covered by a better (and larger) liability insurance policy than the NEA's.

Florida law already regulates this. I belong to the United Teachers of Dade (I really hate the unions politics but they just got me a summer school job, so I can't really complain) But I fer DANG sure know that my dues don't go to liberal causes because of the law in Florida. When I joined I made sure they knew my stance. Too bad we Republicans are mere drops in a big bucket when it comes to teaching.

I thought perhaps I might change parties just for the primary, that way I could vote for Janet and still have time to change back before the general election. If Janet wins the nomination, she gets trounced by Jeb.

If McBride takes it Jeb is in B-I-G trouble especially in the decisive panhandle area. McBride is ex-military and a combat vet. He is supposedly progun and prolife. The major problem is that as a political neophyte he will be firmly under the thumb of the national party. I don't think the "porkchoppers" in the panhandle realize this.
