The voters I have talked to are basically ignoring the media and looking instead at their own lives - they ARE doing better than before Gov Bush came into office, and everytime McMumble claims everyone is "stressed out" they tune out to McMumble.

However, when Gov Bush demands answers to questions about specifics on McMumble's plans for FL, and McMumble offers no specifics, they tune in -- and this reinforces their belief Gov Bush would be a better leader in the future.

FL voters I know, including Dems, have generally been very happy with Gov Bush in office, and they have no difficulty in pointing to something in his record they are glad he did.

Maybe it's because of my own experiences and the people I listen to, which includes voters who are not GOP -- I have no doubtr Gov Bush will win it. They were curious about McMumble, but as I suspected, his nomination was a novelty that wore off. Most voters give Gov Bush an A+ for leadership issues, and they will not so easily hand over the reins of power to an inexperienced nobody, especially one without specific, well thought-out plans. McMumble has nothing like this to offer, and more and more voters know it.

doubtr = doubt

It does seem to me that McBride has been getting a free ride in the national press. Some have even mentioned him as a future Presidential prospect. His positions (or lack thereof) on the issues doesn't ever seem to come up. Is this true in the Florida media as well?
