Hi, friends! This is going to be totally "free flowing". Some of the transcribers are unavailable and let's just have fun watching Governor Bush WIN AGAIN! Please remember some freepers have no tv coverage so little paragraphs every now and then are helpful for them. I'll try to do that too.
Thanks in advance for contributing to another great "live" Jeb thread.
Before the debate at 7:00 p.m. (check your local listings or c-span later on), PLEASE VISIT THE GOVERNOR BUSH PRAYER THREAD FOR STRENGTH & UNITY on my profile page. I need to go there myself and say a quick pre-debate prayer.
Tampa Bay on News Channel 8.

Governor John Ellis Bush, You, Go, Guv!

"Kids are too stressed out... Seniors are too stressed out..."
Lord, we ask You to raise up godly men and women to places of authority in all positions in this country. Father, we ask You to not only raise them up to these positions, but to give them wisdom and grace to keep the positions and serve You well in the them.
Lord, we raise up all Your children in political office,those running for office, and Governor Bush and his family, in particular, before Your throne. Lord, strengthen, encourage, encompass with peace, and give wisdom to the Bush family, their friends and advisors. Praise be to God!
Lord, give the voters in Florida and throughout the nation a desire to vote intelligently in all elections. Bring to light things they need to know so they may vote in line with Your plan, will and purpose.
Lord, any assignments that may already be in the working, we ask You to speak words of warning to those whom they will be carried out against, and expose those assignments before they can be completed.
May the citizens of our nation become so weary of the sin and degradation in our nation's leaders that they wil begin to seek out godly leaders to represent them on every level of government. Give such leaders favor with the public and the media. May there arise such a force of righteousness in our electoral system that it would affect every realm and level of government.
May no deceiving person be successful in obtaining political office or able to influence governing decisions. We pray that they will be exposed in the attempts to sway public opinion in their favor. May truth and righteousness prevail in our nation from this day forward.
Father, make our state and our nation a fragrance in the earth, a force to be reckoned with, a hand extended to those in need. Lord, may Your Name receive all the glory and honor and praise!

PKM, Can you ping the supersize list?
If you find a poll after the DEBATE, please put it here ragtime. It's applicable to the thread. I guess it's time for the DEBATE. Here we go. (they'll probably squeeze one more lame McBride tv spot in first).
Tim thanked you, fv! (^: e-mailing the questions...Barbara Bush is there.
First question, on the sniper...ballistic fingerprinting, sneaky, Tim.
Would Jeb be willing to support this legislation.
If it could. Better to have laws to punish people who commit crimes.
Tim sets up Jeb, says a new study proves ballistic fingerprinting works...Jeb stays cool. Brings up Florida's low crime rate.
This is moving fast!
McBride support legislation in Florida? "If it would help. If we could find this killer, certainly, and the governor of this state and any public official would want to do it. "when I was in the military". Fingerprinted find source of weapon. there he does. He's starting to ramble and his eyes look bad tonight.
St. Pete Times: McBride changed his position re: gunshow loophole? What is his position on that? "I haven't had a chance to talk with the ST Pete Times since then. Leave em like they are. 1998 Fla voters allowed each county to close the gun show loophole. He said "Tampa". I supported them as well. The state of fla needs no more gun laws. We need to enforce the ones we have." end of McBride's answer
McBride now saying he's in favor of leaving the gun laws alone. Tim Russert gave this to McBride, imho. McBride picked Rossin...in favor of gun control.
Jeb's nervous tonight. He needs our prayers.
Of course Jeb has done this! Over 40 sheriffs and and every police organization endorse Jeb.
Jeb: "Mr. McBride's website doesn't say anything about crime"...Jeb's mentioning the endorsements."Across the board in every category we've seen reductions in crime." Good Jeb. He knows his subject.
EXCUSE ME, MCBRIDE, I FEEL SAFE.
McB: We've been cutting our budgets, support and help that we need. TR: More money: MB: Well, yes. TR: How much? MB: Well, I'd ask local LE. Jeb: Rebuttal - he's talking so fast. All LE support Jeb's candidacy and dem sheriffs support Jeb's campaign. Not osmosis. Across the board reductions in crime. Deal next with sexual predators to make sure they serve longer sentences. Spending more money on shelters. Greater penalties on crime abusers and elders.
MB: Florida hasn't been doing well. Crime rate has gone up and HE KNOWS IT. THIS GOVERNOR'S TRYING TO TAKE CREDIT FOR SOMETHING HE HAD VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH IT. LIES, LIES, LIES.
