i wonder how the st pete times feels endorsing mcboob when all their lefty partners in crime wont even jump on his bandwagon they just look partisian and stupid now
To: summer
HOLY SH_T! I used to say that the
Miami Herald (once owned by Bob Graham's family, btw) made the
Slum Sentinel look like National Review. I guess I will have to change my mind.
I think this may have to do with the fact that the Herald was so strongly for Reno, that they were pissed that Macbride had even entered the race.

WOW, can you imagine what kind of a complete IDIOT mcbride has to be to not get the Herald's endorsement? Heck, the heralds is so leftist they are on the left bank of the bay and the herald building has a tilt to the left.
Lets keep this in perspective. This is the miami herald. They can't be bad and now good. This has to be a vote by the heralds AGAINST mcbride more than for Jeb Bush. (the herald also torched him over his debate performance. Obviously not a court room attorney. Not all attorneys have practices that require going to trial or public speaking.)
You know is snowed in miami in 1975.....

Holy mackeral!!!! Unbelievable.

It has frozen over for sure! I am stunned!

while I give kudos to the herald and sentinel for doing the right thing You have to know it killed them inside to do it but it shows that even they know mcboob is perhaps the worst canidate for gov in florida history

GO JEB!

Pigs are flying BUMP!

FYI, this is a shot of h*ll freezing over. Newspapers don't like to be totally out of step. If this race were truly close they would endorse McBride. If McBride won they could take credit and demand influence in a McBride governorship. If he lost they almost elected him.
If McBride were going to win bet the farm they would endorse him in glowing terms.
But if bush is going to win a substantial victory, and they know it they will not go the other way. If theses papers opposed Bush, and he won in a land slide, it would l not make other politicians in future races fear these papers wrath.
The one time that papers like these will get on the wrong side of a landslide is when they are sure they can say I told you so. A paper being able to crow, "You didn't listen to us and look what a fine mess you have made" is good for the paper's influence too.
Hell didn't freeze over. This just says teh paper thinks Bush is going to get an easy win and going to do well after elected.
It is hard to retain the reputation as a molder of public opinion when you can't mold public opinion. When opinion is firmly molded the only option is to pretend to mold it by agreeing with it.
When the question is endorse a man we can't stand or let all the politicians know we are powerless, papers nearly always endorse a man they can't stand.

This huge! (not to mention great news) I would agree that it is shocking that he got these endorsements, but I'd hardly call it 'great news'.
What makes staffers on a newspaper's editorial board such "experts" on poltics anyway? My local newspaper endorsed Paul Wellstone for Senator in 1990 and 1996...and would have done so this year as well. Enough said!
Personally I find newspaper endorsements arrogant and insulting to their readers' intelligence.
