BREAKING: 7:00 pm Thursday - MCBRIDE just gave his acceptance speech on only one local Tampa Bay station wtvt Fox Ch. 13. I might have been the only person from here who saw it and my mom called me to watch it. Maybe it's posted on their web site.

This is McBride's campaign strategy: 1. I'M A NICE GUY. 2. PLEASE GOVERNOR BUSH, DON'T ATTACK ME ANY MORE AND LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THE PAST. YOU WERE MEAN TO ME, JEB BUSH. 3. ATTACK GOVERNOR BUSH AND LIE about CUTTING, CUTTING, CUTTING.

Please pass this on, copy and paste this and tell people what we've got to look forward to. This is what McLawyer will say in a town near you. He's miscalculated how many Floridians think Jeb's a great Governor and not showing an ounce of respect for the Office.

Before that, he name dropped a fireman who died in the Towers and name dropped his machine gunner from Vietnam who lost a leg (just like election night). He's shameless and tacky and he didn't give any "specifics" except that he is aggressively going after Jeb. Clinton lessons? Probably.

If you aren't supposed to be on my ping list, please advise by bumping this to the top. I try to remove a name immediately but stuff happens. And everyone else on the USA-Florida ping list, hang in there with me until November. I promise low volume and am retiring this list after Jeb wins re-election! Yay! FV

This is interesting that he decided to give an acceptance speech before Reno concedes. His campaign previously announced he would not do that, and would first wait for Reno's concession speech. So much for that idea, I guess.

Great, a lawyer in the Klintoon tradition. Just what we need to watch and listen to on our televisions for the next 60 days. I think I'm going to stock up on air sickness bags.

Thanks for the ping, FV; this is the first time I've heard of McBride's acceptance speech.

If Reno is planning on challenging the election, this might prompt her to start some action on it soon. This should either force her to concede or fight. I'm hoping for a nasty fight!

So the race between McBride and Reno was truly one of the lesser of 2 way big evils...

keep me on your ping list.

I still say that if Reno and McBride are still gonna argue about which of them won the DemocRATic nomination, let 'em duel it out with pistols. Put it on "pay per view" -- I've got my credit card and VCR ready.

That said, I read today in the SHT that McBride has been declared the winner by FL SoS Jim Smith, and that "Education" is going to be the primary focus of debate between McLawyer and Jeb. So, summer, you have your work cut out for you, since you're the definite expert on this particular subject -- please keep Jeb and little ol' us'ns informed and erudite on this "issue"!
