Sounds like they are giving Janet the win in the primary but according to others it may not be that sure.

A poll released yesterday shows Florida gubernatorial hopeful Bill McBride has nearly closed the gap with former Attorney General Janet Reno in the Democratic primary.

Miss Reno leads Mr. McBride 34 percent to 31 percent, according to the poll of registered Democrats conducted Aug. 22-25 for the Internet news service InsiderAdvantage by the Marketing Workshop in Atlantap.

The poll has a margin of error of six percentage points, and virtually mirrors a McBride campaign poll of 10 days ago that showed him trailing Miss Reno by six percentage points.

A third Democrat, state Sen. Daryl Jones, had the support of 5 percent of voters in the new poll, in which 30 percent were undecided.

The poll also found that Mr. McBride would fare the best of the three Democratic gubernatorial candidates against incumbent Republican Gov. Jeb Bush.

Among the findings of the poll:

•Miss Reno's negative rating is close to 20 percent, more than twice that of Mr. McBride.
•Mr. McBride's name recognition has risen to over 50 percent, up dramatically from 13 percent in February.
•Miss Reno was the leading choice of blacks surveyed, with 43 percent, compared with 11 percent of black voters who favor Mr. McBride, and 9 percent for Mr. Jones, who is black. The remainder were undecided.

Is this some of the same group that Jack Thompson was a part of? How does Governor Bush response to this outside intervention? Has he made any statements?

Well ... I would be suspicious of anything to do with NewsMax. These people hate the Bush family. This smells to me!!

You bring up Jack Thompson's name...I have a few questions...
Did something happen on FR, that is the reason for JT not being here anymore?

I just remember reading about JT years ago, runnning for something in FL against Janet Reno. I also remember something about JT having inside info on JR's lesbian underground connections.

Anyone?

Thanks for the link to the poll - it will be more interesting to see the upcoming Mason Dixon poll mentioned in your link, because in this poll: "A third Democrat, state Sen. Daryl Jones, had the support of 5 percent of voters in the new poll, in which 30 percent were undecided." That's a lot of undecided Dem voters - in fact, I think 30% of Dem voters are voting for Gov Bush!

With respect to that group FV mentioned, they have reportedly disbanded following threatened legal action by Gov Bush's lawyer to get them to stop using his name in their money solicitations.
