Reno thinks numbers can work in her favor

Miami Herald (June 24, 2002) Gov. Bush's popularity stumps Democrats***…..Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, the Democratic front-runner, whose candidacy had promised to further excite the party faithful, has remained mired about 20 points behind the governor in polls. She continues to combat high negative ratings from her controversial record in Washington.

McBride, whose upstart candidacy appeared to gain momentum earlier in the year when he secured key endorsements from organized labor, has shown some improvement but still lags staggeringly far behind Reno. And despite arguing that he would pose a greater threat to the governor than Reno, he has yet to prove it with polling numbers.

The governor, meanwhile, has marched through a political landscape rich with potential land mines -- a state budget deficit that forced cuts to schools and social services, his daughter's arrest on prescription drug fraud charges, feuding among his party's legislative leaders, and the case of missing 5-year-old Rilya Wilson.***

Janet Reno must be smoking weed. She'd need the Cuban American vote and no one who's smart in Little Havana will ever vote for her and as much as blacks dislike Jeb Bush, he's not a polarizing figure to bring enough of them to turn out to unseat him. Reno is trying to make the best of a bad hand but its not enough to bring her to Tallahassee in November.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

What a resume!

[ChasingFletch]

"Reno thinks numbers can work in her favor."..

The only numbers involved with The Flame should be the ones across her chest in her MUGSHOT !!!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

She has no appeal and can only campaign on division. She isn't worth anyone's vote.

Despite being raised by old soldiers and sailors, and growing up around working-class people, I do not have enough ammo in my "store of cuss-words" to adequately describe this awful excuse for a woman.

A friend of mine, who is a Federal Title II Manufacturer ( short def- he builds machine guns, silencers, and other exotic weaponry ) said when she was appointed AG:

"She's there to protect clinton..."

Truer words have never been spoken.

Before spending most of last week fund raising in New York and Chicago...

This ugly ass bag of sh%t can't even raise money in FL. She has to spend time out of state trying to find idiots stupid enough to fund her. I though the TV Prez was her ass...er ace in the hole. Hey Martin, where are you?

[Scuttlebutt]

"I do not have enough ammo in my "store of cuss-words" to adequately describe this awful excuse for a woman"

I would be glad to lend you a few if needed.

""Janet is a unique candidate, and there is enormous excitement about her candidacy as she campaigns, even during these summer days when it's hard to get people out," Harburger said. "We think she will inspire turnout that's never been seen before."" (Orlando Sentinel)

Jackboot Janet will also "inspire turnout that's never been seen before" among the groups her campaign can least afford to have come out to vote - Cubans, rednecks, gun people, and Christian conservatives who don't like lesbians.

Also, many other European-Americans will come out just to vote against her if Jackboot Janet gets too obvious about being "the blacks' candidate."

Jackboot Janet's "girlfriend" - the story she fears will hit Florida talk radio!

Let her fall down, just one more time, on camera. Just once more, please. I pray nightly.

Reno thinks numbers can work in her favor

Indeed. I bet she does. And I bet I know which ones, too:

[summer]

FL Gov Jeb Bush
currently has a 62% approval rating in FL
-- a state where there are more registered
Dems than GOP voters.

[Tymesup]

Any update on the accident she was involved in a couple of months ago?

Any update on her taking responsibility for firing incendiary devices into a home filled with children? Inserting poisonous gases into a home filled with children?

Is she still proud of negotiating with the Gonzalez family while preparing to seize Elian at gunpoint?

[caltrop]

Reno is unelectable in Florida. The Democrats down here actually believe she'll turn out their base like nobody else but IMHO the only turnout she'll actually drive is the vote against her. McBride may be a different story but he'll have to win the nomination first. No easy matter unless he's willing to say things which will kill his chances in the general election.

The most interesting point in the article to me is that 30% of the Democrats will vote for Bush against Reno. While many of these will do so on the gun issue, some will undoubtedly appreciate the effort he's made to govern like a Democrat. He's made the government grow significantly (7 1/2% annually prior to the revenue crunch) and he's gotten the legislature to greatly strengthen the Governor's powers - long a liberal goal in Florida.

[summer]

caltrop, I posted recently about that poll showing almost 1/3 of Dems polled said they intend to vote for Gov Bush.

With all due respect to your analysis, I don't think that reflects Gov Bush governing like a liberal at all. Rather, I think it shows the swing voter nature of the average FL Dem voter in this state -- in which case, his victory is all the more remarkable, because he is already pulling in those swing voters.

I note this because I see Reno has recently been saying all that she can to dismiss the influence of swing voters in FL -- yet, the swing and independents will determine the outcome of this election, not the "black" and "gay" voters she claims will turn the tide. If every black and/or gay voter in this state voted for her, she'd still lose.

In addition, I have to point out that what this guy said below seems to echo my previous comment to you, that many people in FL just plain LIKE Gov Bush -- he has the personality and charisma that appeals to many FL voters:

"I think she's better than Jeb Bush," said Charles Grantham, 70, a rancher and member of the Calhoun County Democratic Executive Committee.

"But I don't know if she's going to be able to gin-up enough interest among Democrats wanting to knock him out. A lot of people around here think he's OK -- even Democrats."

And, last but not least, Tymesup, in answer to all your questions, I would just say the headline of this article tells the whole story about Janet Reno: she has nothing to say to voters about anything, so, all she talks about are 'the numbers.' It does not seem to have crossed her mind that voters have tuned her out for a long list of reasons, and for many voters, the reason includes the fact she has no education plan, no plan for FL's future, and no plan at all -- except her laughable notions about how she can perhaps win this race. She IS unelectable -- and on that, I agree completely with caltrop.

BTW, forget the italics on my last paragraph above -- should be regular text.

...he's gotten the legislature to greatly strengthen the Governor's powers - long a liberal goal in Florida.

I don't know why Chiles never did it, but, it should be noted that FL ranked near last in the nation in terms of gov powers before the changes made by Gov Bush.
