Well, you certainly have a point there, LCS.

Wow, it's looking better and better for Gov Jeb!

Let's remember that the Dems vowed to defeat Jeb, more or less out of spite over GW winning Florida.
These Dems still have an ax to grind and Jeb victory will be all the more significant, in denying them the revenge they've been after.
Not to mention the fact that he's a better candidate and simply deserves to win.

Not to mention the fact that he's a better candidate and simply deserves to win.

That is the plain truth. These Dem candidates should have spent a whole lot more time thinking about the issues, about his record, etc. They didn't. And, it shows.

BTW, Jorge, you may have already seen the following thread, but, for those who didn't:

GO JEB!!

I wonder if the firefighters want to rethink their support of the Bush family. I know from experience that if you trust one of them, they will do nothing but disappoint and lie and then they expect you to vote for them again.

I have no idea what made you say that with respect to Gov. Bush, but if I was a firefighter, I think I would vote for him. Sounds like you did not read the article at all. Here is an excerpt for you:

Governor Bush's commitment to Florida's public safety workers has been unwavering:

* Fulfilling a 1998 campaign promise, Governor Bush signed the Police and Firefighter Pension Act (House Bill 261) into law in 1999, improving retirement benefits for Florida's public safety officers. This was his first bill to sign into law as Governor.

* 1n 2000, Governor Bush signed into law Senate Bill 94, which increased disability payments for special-risk officers by 23 percent.

* This year, Governor Bush has signed several bills into law to aid Florida's firefighters. Senate Bill 108 provides workers' compensation benefits for firefighters and other emergency personnel for injuries sustained while performing their job responsibilities while off-duty or outside their regular jurisdiction. Senate Bill 176 and House Bill 1357 increase educational and death benefits for children and families of firefighters and other law enforcement who are killed in the line of duty.

Re my link above - from the Orlando Sentinel's own MIKE THOMAS:

Jeb turns hose on Reno with Sept. 11 hero

If Janet Reno's campaign were a dog, the humane thing would be to take it behind the barn and shoot it.

That was my thought after watching the state's firefighters union endorse Jeb Bush on Monday....

I just thought you might find posts #37 and #38 amusing! :)
