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.

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?

""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!

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

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

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.

Reno must be in the panhandle trying to stir up the yellow-dog 'RAT "Bush destroyed my hertiage" vote. She needs all those Lawton Chilies types. Unfortunately for Janet, the CINOs (Conservatives In Name Only) hoping to defeat Jeb have been awfully quite lately because they KNOW they can't support her in PUBLIC or they'll be exposed. A few months ago they were all gung-ho about defeat "Scalawag Jeb" with a "real" Floridian. But they know Reno's FAR more of a "tyrant" than any of the garbage they spew about Jeb.

It's ironic, Jeb's actually far more conservative than his brother at this point. And he's far more associated with Florida than "native" daughter Reno.

There is no way Reno can win without such vocal support for her campaign. Since only the unabashed LIBERAL Democrats (and not the "moderate" Democrats and/or phony conservative yellow-dogs) will publically promote her, she's toast. Bye bye, cutie pie.

"But I don't know if she's going to be able to gin-up enough. . . ."

Good point.
