Column: Jeb! bulldozing; Democrats just dozing [A RAVE review for Jeb from Broward County!]

Gov. Bush visits with supporters at the Regal Trace Apartments in [Dem stronghold,] Ft. Lauderdale.

Give Jeb! credit.

He caught the Democrats catnapping -- again. You'd think that the untidy agglomeration that passes for a political party would have learned to guard its flanks.

Well, think again!

Jeb! -- that's the political monicker for Gov. Jeb Bush -- came to South Florida the other day and made a serious play for black voters.

Summer. I live and work here in Pinellas County, and I must tell you the local Dems here are just overwrought with the prospect of JEB's victory this year.

I know what you're saying because I read that sentiment from Pinellas Dems on some web sites, but all I can say is: What's wrong with them? I mean really. Gov. Bush has done so much good for this state. They should be thanking their lucky stars we have a candidate like him to vote for!

They are disgusted with Reno, and admit that McBRIDE is only in it for the money; (I really think he's a ringer for Fred Flintstone).

I agree -- and, McLawyer should have gone into cartoons, in light of the way he's run his campaign.

While I KNOW JEB will win, stand-by for some real hazardous Tammany Hall shenanigans this fall.

And, stay tuned for the big cry baby fest, to come immediately after the Dem primary Reno wins in Sept., when the entire Dem Party yells in unison: Not fair! Because Jeb and the GOP FL Legislature eliminated the run-off primary and that would have changed everything! Meanwhile, Dem voters I know think it was good to eliminate run-offs and to save that money -- winner take all, the first time, and THAT's IT. Done with it!

Thanks for your thoughtful post, tenthirteen. Keep us posted on what's up in Pinellas! I know they're already crying out there knowing Dems will lose big this Nov -- no matter who's the Dem candidate! :)

All Florida FReepers should encourage all their democratic acquaintances to vote reno on Sept. 10th!!

Then we'll roll out the tanks on reno!

BTTT! BTW, Luke, don't roll out TOO many tanks -- we don't want her to drop out of the race after she wins the primary! :)

GO JEB!!

She [Reno] will be buried under a Jeb landslide.

Agreed! :)

Thanks for the tip. I'm glad we have General summer to keep us focused, motivated and well armed with facts.(^:

There's a black conservative ping list which I'm proud to be on, and let me tell you how energized that list is.

See if you can ping them to this thread! :)

[summer]

LOL....I'd never make it as a General. Teacher? yes. Ring-leader in a circus? Maybe! :)

[BOBTHENAILER]

Great post. What a machine Jeb has, rolling over the opposition (I know, what opposition).

[JulieRNR21]

Jeb is going to do much better than anyone imagines in South Florida. Two lady today told me they aren't voting this year and laughted about getting an invitation to see Janet in Boca this week. They didn't know who McBride was.

What glad tidings you bring! Thanks!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Ring-leader in a circus? Maybe! :)

Hah! You do an awesome job of rallying the troops, keeping your threads civil and informative. I say that with all sincerity (and a teensy amount of envy...the good kind, that provokes us to be a better person).

Ring-leader? Can I have a whip, too? (For unruly Reno-accounts). (^:

BTTT to your post #74! Yes - lots of "glad tidings" here! This must be "Christmas in July"! :)

LOL....thanks for your kind words, RC. But, my threads would be nothing without all the great posts from you and others on FR! I always remember that... and, sure, you can have all the whips! I prefer hanging out with the clowns anyway -- PJ-Comix, etc. :)

Yes....maybe it is...and let's all work for 'Thanksgiving' victory for JEB in November!
