Greta Van Susteren just did a "news alert" that Janet Reno's run for Fla. govenor is over. She suffered a "big defeat" at the hands of opponent Bill McBride.

Nobody's listening to us, Chris. :-)

[hole_n_one]

Down goes Reno!
Down goes Reno!

[jejones]

Couldn't have happened to a nice^H^H^H^Hmore deserving person.

[rockfish59]

She should try out for cheerleader!

[Illbay]

...the DNC will pour in big bucks & big names to try defeat the President's brother.

Let 'em. I am not privy to all that goes on there, but I have the impression Jeb is a popular gov. And so the DNC can pour lots of money in there, in a losing cause, and have less to spend elsewhere.

That's what they get when they spend time on "strategery" instead of pragmatism.

[Southack]

Relax. Jones is pulling what, 12% in some counties?

That could easily trigger a RUNOFF between McBribe and Reno, thus costing them both even more money before either gets to take on Jeb.

Life is good.

[Coop]

You have completely lost me. You're sort of agreeing with us, yet you're telling us to relax? I dun get it.

[rockfish59]

The Forty Niners had 2 consecutive 2-14 seasons, so don't feel bad!
Got 5 Super Bowl rings now!
I'd love to see Detroit win it!

[cookcounty]

Does less than 50% in Florida require a runoff? That WOULD be good news, and the way it looks now, probably a sure thing, since McBride will lose a few pct when the 4 Stooges come in.

[rockfish59]

She's 68 but thinks she's 24!

lol!

[cinFLA]

Yes, I understand that feeling, but what if the democrat machine goes into action & makes sure a democrats wins in Nov. I would hate to see Bush lose to Reno because of cheating.

NO WAY could they overcome the landslide turnout by republicans against Reno. Now I worry that a lot of moderates that can not stomach Reno will vote democrat in November.

Well I'm a resident & I am worried about McBride! The FL media is extremely biased against JEB and will undoubtedly begin to 'inform' Floridians in laudatory articles about the 'unknown' who 'upset' Reno.

The Condo Commanders in Dade County will be working like demons to get out the vote for him! The chance to defeat JEB will provide ample motivation.

He's already got the FL Teacher's Union endorsement.....Please don't underestimate his chances!

Just thought I'd post a link to this thread on JEB from earlier this year. Hope you don't mind.

How you can help re-elect FL Gov. Jeb Bush in a landslide, from the comfort of your home computer!

I hope so, best of luck and good hunting.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

There is no runoff in Florida this year (long story). A simple plurality wins. Reno is coming back strong in her 3 counties, with 20-30% of the total Dem vote. Remember how long it took to decide Florida in 2000.

[Hila]

HalleluYAH!!!!, and may all who call evil good, and good evil continue to fall never to rise again.

[gswilder]

I hope it does get close tonight, and it takes them 2-3 weeks to sort it out. At least this time, it'll be dem against dem. Make a great media story. Maybe it'll go all the way to the supreme court........

[bayareablues]

Thank goodness! Let's hope every other Clintonite gets defeated in their elections. None of them deserve to hold public office in this great country. None of them

[Lunatic Fringe]

Bush ordered polls statewide to stay open an additional two hours. Problems were reported in 13 counties – including six of the seven that were sued after the 2000 vote. In Union County, officials counted every ballot by hand after the optical-scan system showed that every vote cast was for a Republican candidate.

Muahahahaha!

The VRWC STRIKES AGAIN!
