Mike Thomas, The Orlando Sentinel's liberal writer, just became a swing voter:
The first time he voted for a GOP candidate was this year -- when he voted for Gov Bush!
Let's Send LOTS of Email To This Liberal Reporter

The Orlando Sentinels liberal Mike Thomas is now an independent voter, as disclosed in his Nov 1st column HERE:
-----------
I direct my No. 2 pencil toward the broken arrow next to Jeb Bush's name on the absentee ballot.
My hand begins to shake violently, drops the pencil and leaps off the page to choke me, a la Dr. Strangelove.
It's very traumatic voting for a Republican governor for the first time.
I go both ways now, one of those swinger voters who chooses based on individual qualifications....
-----------------
This is a remarkable vote for Gov Jeb Bush, considering how many times in the the past Mike Thomas has criticized the current FL gov (although a few recent columns have defended Gov Bush).
And, it is a huge loss for the Dem candidate, McMumble, as McMumble recently spent 90 (ninety) minutes face-to-face with Mike Thomas, trying to win said writers vote.
Tough luck, McMumble!
Also, good for you, Mike Thomas, for doing whats best for FL!
Maybe we should email Mike Thomas and assure him he did the right thing by voting for JEB!!

This poor guy will probably get a ton of hate mail from his liberal readers for voting for Gov Bush -- perhaps some balance is needed here! :)

I cannot believe how bad its been for mcbride. His political carrer is over before it ever begun.

I read an article once about him that said he was shaving one day, and looked in the bathroom mirror, and announced to his wife he had decided to run for governor. It seems to me his plans as a FL gov candidate did not go much beyond finishing his shave that day.

I just dropped him a note. He'll find this easier to do in the future. It's called awakening politically.
But he certainly has something BAD against the GOP candidate for attorney general. I wonder what that's all about.

I'm glad he voted for Bush, but it seems he is trying to atone for it by bashing Crist. :(
To: Recovering_Democrat
LOL....well, this is so new for him. I know he feels like in that respect! :)
