You're right. Jeb's campaign made a big mistake by giving name recognition to McBride. Most Rats in South Florida had never heard of him. Reno on the ballot would have given a big boost to every Republican on the ticket in November. That's why the Rat estabishment wanted her to lose.
Thats 100% false.
Bush needed to go negative on McBribe because the idiot Reno wasn't, and the rats would probably steal the nomination from Reno(which they did).
McFatso goes into this election with higher negatives than he would have otherwise, especially among blacks.
Ther teachers unions and others poured millions inot his campaign and saturated the airwaves with his commercials.
They were on way more than Bushs ads.
