The liberal "Independent Florida Alligator", which is basically the school newspaper for the University of Florida (even though technically unaffiliated) had an editorial on the first debate in which they basically said McBride offered nothing of substance. This newspaper is about as left leaning as you can get, so it was quite shocking. Jeb! actually had the editorial on his homepage!

It is encouraging that left-leaning students could figure out that McBride offered nothing of substance in debate #1, isn't it? Gov Bush's good heart showed itself in that debate, along with his well thought-out positions on issues, and a strong record of accomplishment. I've seen videotape of Jeb campaigning in Puerto Rico (in a large stadium) for his dad back when 41 was running for President in 1980. Jeb's legs were shaking, and I thought about what courage and commitment it took for him to make that speech. The heart is still there, and it's exciting to see him doing a great job as Florida's governot.
