Very Interesting Article -- Had a Question and a Comment...
The Mason Dixon poll released Wednesday had Bush leading McBride, 51 percent to 43 percent. That's the same percentage Bush had over Lt. Gov. Buddy McKay, the Democratic nominee, four years ago on the same date. We all know what happened to Buddy McKay.
What happened to McKay (other than that he lost--was it a landslide ?)
Also...
The Broward Democratic Party's widely distributed invitation to its big pre-election rally on Sunday states that School Board candidate Marty Rubinstein will speak. Not mentioned anywhere is Rubinstein's District 6 opponent, Phyllis Hope. Hope is one of the few black candidates on the ballot. She is being snubbed at the same time Democrats are engaged in a frantic effort to get black votes next week.
This is at least the fourth instance I've heard of Dems openly "snubbing" blacks within the party (Terry McCulliffe's appointment over ???, taking money from McCall's campaign in NY and pumping it into FL, refusing to consider Alan Page in MN, and now this)-- yet the Dems continue to get over 80% (maybe even 90%) of the black vote -- mind-boggling !!
Also--for any who read the quotes from Bill Clinton's speech last night (I think) -- there were some subtle racist comments in it, yet no one in the media seemes to pick it up *SIGH*

Here's a link to the thread about Clinton's speech...
Clinton woos black voters Quote...
I remember literacy tests most whites in the South couldn't have passed," he said. "I remember us and them.
Implying that if a white can't pass the test--a black person would have NO chance ???
Also...
It is a race in which blacks are considered to be the deciding factor, and Mr. Clinton warned against politicians who would divide the people into "us" and "them." He recalled a time, growing up in the South, when blacks were herded on the back of trucks by "beady-eyed white guys."
Warns about being divisive...and then makes the "beady-eyed white guys "herding" blacks" statement -- unfrickin'- believable !

McBrides crowds are dwindling. It does remind me of six years ago when Jeb first won. The McKay (democrat opponent) campaing was having fewer people appear.
Look for paid bodies in the next days whereevery McBride goes to. There will be a bus full of union supporters following and ready to cheer at every stop. A portable crowd.
Remeber to vote out anstead.
The TV news had a story with Browards Oliphant acting as a greeter for the realy long line outside of Browards Election supervisor office where they are doing the early voting. The line was primarily african americans.
from the article:
(my coments in paren)
"The Dolphin Democratic Club (homosexual democrat party club) hasn't been very democratic lately. The club obviously doesn't believe in free speech for state Rep. Stacy Ritter, D-Coral Springs. Ritter says she didn't get the club's endorsement because she is supporting School Board member Darla Carter's (voted against homosexual access to school childrent by GLSEN) re-election. The gay and lesbian club is against Carter."
Any parent who can vote must vote for carter. The homosexual groups invested time and money to remove Darla Carter. The school board promised her opponent support and money. He is also a democrat and a small time attorney. He sold his vote for the homosexual access to children in exchange for money and support in this election.
This specific race is D vs D controled by D in a D county with all D. When they loose the homosexuals can't blame the right or republicans.
