Has Reno actually been nominated yet? I don't remember any news about a primary or convention there. I hope it takes place soon because I want the FL democrats locked into Reno as a candidate. I am afraid they might actually wake up and choose one of her opponents for the nomination. At any rate, Bush will win because his record is so strong, but I really want to make sure that Reno runs against him and gets buried in Nov. One more small nail in the Clintonista coffin (and it's gonna take a whole lotta nails).

This just occurred to me. Do you suppose Sheen actually rode in the truck with Reno to her campaign events? I would guess not. Somehow I don't think tv stars ride around in little red trucks with gawky old ladies.

The primary isn't until September. That's good news for Bush as long as Reno is the nominee. There's no run-off by the way.

If Reno isn't the nominee, it'll be McBride. McBride's run a smart campaign for the general election by refusing to pander to the liberals who form the corps of the Democratic Party. Since he won't promise to turn the state over to the homosexuals, the trial lawyers and the teachers' union he's got a really tough road to the nomination. If he gets it though, he'll be able to at least pretend to be a middle of the road Democrat and will pose a threat to Bush. If it's a Bush - Reno race, Bush will probably win 70 - 30.

I dont think there has been an official nomination yet, but there doesnt seem to be any strong challengers to Reno's campaign from within her own party.

Its my understanding there will probably be more primary candidates, thanks to a new law that does away with the second primary, or runoff election, for the 2002 election only. So chances are the parties will support more candidates, since it takes just a simple majority to win. Previous law required the top two candidates to face off in an expensive runoff election if neither could get the 50-percent-plus-one vote required to win.
