MIAMI (AP) -- Talk show host Rosie O'Donnell hosted a $250 per person fund-raiser Sunday for Janet Reno, the former U.S. attorney general and a Democratic candidate for governor.
``When I heard that she was running I called up her office and told her I would do any and everything I can,'' O'Donnell said.
O'Donnell was hoping to raise $50,000 for Reno, one of five Democrats attempting to unseat Gov. Jeb Bush.
Asked about her chances of defeating Bush, Reno said bluntly: ``I'm going to win.''
Both Reno and O'Donnell, a foster parent, said they shared a commitment to helping children.
``It's a big problem in the state of Florida. There are over 3,000 children today available for adoption, free for adoption in the state, in foster custody,'' O'Donnell said. ``Chances are they will age out of the system, they will go right into welfare and into prison, so we need to do better for this generation of kids.''
The comedian owns a home on Miami Beach's Star Island, a gated community of mansions along Biscayne Bay. The closed event was held at a private home.
Analysts said the appearance with O'Donnell could pose problems for Reno when she attempts to court voters in areas heavily composed of gun owners, sportsmen and military personnel.
``Anything that connects Reno to gun control means Democrats lose big in north Florida,'' said Susan MacManus, a political scientist at the University of South Florida in Tampa.
Yeah.
Rosie will do her adopted children a great service by twisting their minds about their sexuality and their second amendment rights and Reno can tell whatever children come into her life about the ones that burned to death at Waco.
Excuse me while I go relieve myself of my supper....
Yes, Janet Reno has been so helpful in the lives of children. Just ask those kids in Waco, or Elian Gonzalez.
Oh, wait, that's right--we can't ask them anything anymore, thanks to Janet.
What's that? She walked to the buffet for another piece of hare pie? On her stumps.
You have to be insane or really stupid, Rosie.
Janet Reno is responsible for the slaughter of innocent children in Waco, and the forced re-enslavement of Elian Gonzalez.
Now wait a minute. I didn't know she was swearing off women.
``It's a big problem in the state of Florida. There are over 3,000 children today available for adoption, free for adoption in the state, in foster custody,'' O'Donnell said. ``Chances are they will age out of the system, they will go right into welfare and into prison, so we need to do better for this generation of kids.'
An interesting in placing every one of those kids in gay housholds..a common goal!

So be sure to put up big copies of "the photo" on every utility pole there as the election approaches - and hit every local talk show there, where you don't waste time preaching to the choir, about it.
Janet Reno's girlfriend - another issue she fears in North Florida
The resemblance is too close to dismiss,both physically and mentally.
The connection to "gun control" is going to cause Reno to lose Florida?? And here I thought it was her "connection" to midnight kidnappings, midnight political implementation of an "enemies list", obstruction of justice, subverting US law, and misappropriation of the office of Attorney General.
