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, 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.
