I was reading a Dem web site the other day and the posters were debating the following question: "Should McLawyer concede now and help Reno defeat Jeb?"

Hey, clueless FL Dem Party, here's a clue for you: If your candidates had done their homework -- and actually bothered to come up with platforms on issues, and then debated EACH OTHER -- more FL voters may have been interested in this race. Meanwhile, Gov Bush has run a 1st rate campaign, stayed on topic, and connected with/and electrified voters everywhere he goes.

Someone should be writing up this FL race as textbook examples of: (a) how to effectively run in a governor's race (see all of Jeb's moves for Winner Example); and (b) how to ineffectively run in a governor's race (see all of Dem candidates' moves for Loser Example).

Are you saying that the Dem candidates have not yet debated each other? And if not, do they have any plans to do so? That seems to be missing an opportunity.

Notice how the rat media really has very little to say about the race. That's because there isn't much to say; and that's the beauty of the situation. The rats in chadville have a millstone around their neck and they are falling toward the sea. There is nothing anyone can do about it. They instituted the primary system now it has come back to bite them on the ash. The only thing they can do now is block the polls in South Florida, they must be able to get plenty of out of work thugs and ex cons that could do it. It's the only way that mclawyer can win. Even if he did win the primary, he doesn't do much better against Jeb anyway. We shall meet the evil donkey on the glorious field of combat and slay the beast!

The Dems saw Florida through the 2000 election and thought that the apple was ripe for picking. Little did they realize that two years can make a world of difference. JEB is not sitting on his hands and is genuinely trying to clean up decades of Dem control of the state. If Reno wins the Dem primary, JEB can practically glide in to re-election.

Summer, they can hardly debate each other on issues NEITHER one has a published positions. That's why the Bush/Brogan campaign commercials with the dancing feet have been so successful. Neither one has done anything but critize Jeb. "I'm not Jeb" is hardly a campaign theme for November.

Jeb has a commercial that runs here in Central Florida, where Waco Reno & McDied are dancing. It just shows the legs only but it is funny. McDied & Reno ---- Just a song & Dance

Hi Summer. Thanks for the ping. I have a question for you. You've been saying that the Dems are not going after Jeb on any issues. What issues do you think he would be vulnerable on if he actually had decent opposition? Just curious.

Governor Bush speaks to crowd on the USS Kennedy upon its return from deployment in the Middle East.

It's just not fair.
Jeb will be getting vote from all those "tax-cheat" military personnel that vote
in Florida.

...just wanted to remind folks of how a leftist/Democratic-shill journalist
characterized the military personnel based in Florida during the Presidential Election
imbroglio of 2000...because they don't have a state income tax in FLA.

What a great, upbeat-good news thread!!

The Florida democrats should slap Reno silly, and we should send her flowers...or are we, once again, premature in our positive assessments? I do get angry when we throw our shoulders out of joint from patting ourselves on the back. That's akin to our other fault, telegraphing our strategy. Democrats will always use slip ups like that to their best advantage...and we never seem to learn our lesson.

Great news summer! Jeb Bush defeating Butch Reno will be the sweetest victory! Paybacks work both ways, and the RATS from the Clinton/Gore regime of liars, thieves and (censored) deserve paybacks!

The bottom line is that Reno is a megalomaniac who is so far out of touch with reality that she will actually saboatge her party's only viable canidate.

Unfortunately for the rat leadership, their voters are too stupid to nominate the only canidate that has a shot at Jeb.

This is great news (but don't get complacent out there...Dems sometimes seem to find a trick up their sleeves at the oddest times).
