Excellent post & pictures!

Here's Governor Bush at MY VERY OWN Coca Cola Bottler in Tampa. I am drinking a product from there right now IMO.

Regarding McLawyer, he doesn't have any platform. He's taking directives straight from the DNC. The only people you'll ever hear him talk about are teachers. He's Johnny One Note.

Didn't you notice that neither Reno/McLawyer or Jones even mentioned that we have a war going on? They were too busy bashing Jeb and running down our great state. For all we know, the sight of those three ships without a rudder turned some viewers into Jeb supporters.

Finally, I saw interviews of Crist and his dem opponent. The dem opponent was talking about teency issues (Maddux). Crist covered all the bases including TERRORISM AND OUR PORTS. Crist is Jeb's choice for AG, mine too. Crist is paying attention to everything, including establishing a fraud hot line. VERY GOOD IDEA...

Like parrots, all the Dem candidates concurred on cue, claiming Gov. Bush has "run the state into the ground" and "devastated" Florida.

does this really surprise you that lib dems lie look at clinton in 92 "it's the worst economy in the last 50 years line" of course the lib press eats it up dont hold your breath waiting for the st pete times or miami herald to ask them to explain why they made this stupid claim

Charlie is one of the most conservative political leaders in Florida. I was a friend of his a little over 20 years ago, when he was the YR chairman in Pinellas County, and I was the chairman in Marion County. Pinellas's organization was much larger and more successful than Marion County, but we had the same votes at the YR state committee. He and I were some of the guys working for extra hard core resolutions, from the already hard right Florida Young Republicans.

I got through to the issue page, which lists about 8 issues with links to a fuller statement on each issue. Here is the policy on the economy, in its complete version:

'Bill McBride will bring to Tallahassee a fresh approach for growing Florida’s economy. Bill McBride recognizes that Florida stands poised at the brink of the New Economy to increase its presence as an international and domestic business center. He will deliver progressive, smart investments and incentives to help large and especially small firms prosper. He will focus on building our state up from the foundation of primary and secondary, and higher, education. The McBride administration is committed to allowing all Floridians to share in the vast potential wealth of the New Economy.'

As you see, he has nothing to say but glittering generalities.

You're right. Good advice. Thanks, redsoxallthewayintwothousand2. I just hope Gov Bush makes these claims more often, because I think undecided voters really want to know about this. :)

Crist has some good tv spots running too.

Thanks for posting that, LCS. Two points came to my mind as I was reading this: first, the reason FL is so well positioned is THANKS TO GOV BUSH; and second, McLawyer can not hope to beat Gov Bush in terms of helping small businesses, since under Gov Bush, FL is #1 NATIONWIDE in small business growth. I think you summed up exactly where McLawyer is on this issue: nowhere.

Thanks for bumping this thread, windchime. :)
