FYI. And, kudos to Gov. Bush for his outstanding performance in Debate #1! :)

Last line of article needed an end quote: ....Bill McBride needed to show that he had a good command of Florida's government and mostly he did, but there were a few times when maybe he did not."

"Debate Moderator Michael Putney on WPLG-TV after the debate:"
"I think both candidates had their innings both candidates did score some points, but frankly I thought that Bill McBride was a little flat, a little unfocused at times and I think he really had more to gain from a good showing tonight then Jeb Bush...Bill McBride needed to show that he had a good command of Florida's government and mostly he did, but there were a few times when maybe he did not."

Things could be worse....this idiot could have been calling balls & strikes at a baseball game.

Excellent research as always, summer!

Great news! Is another debate scheduled?

Hi, summer

Could you please fill me in on this "hate crimes" thing?
What, specifically, does Jeb think about "hate crimes" legislation?
Thanks,
LH

Two months ago Democrats couldn't tell anyone asking who McBride was.
Now McBride is is being touted as the second coming of F.D.R..

When McBride loses in November it will, of course, be because of "voter fraud" and I fully expect the southern tip of Florida to slowly sink beneath the waves thereby assuming the exaulted position once held by Atlantis.

The most interesting comment I've heard about the debate was the observation that, if you read a transcript without any names or party affiliations listed, you'd have thought Bush was the Democrat because he pointed with pride to new spending at almost every opportunity.

Jeb Bush Bump!

Maybe I got the wrong impression from the media, so maybe somone here can help me. McBride is a laywer, suppoedly a very good one, especially at going to trial and milking for money, he basically argues and debates for a living, how is talking his weak point? What kind of successfull laywer can't talk or debate? and is lazy or claims they don't practise before a debate? After watching this, I wouldn't hire this guy even if a had a case in the bag.

I didn't see any maverick Democrat Bill McBride or folksy McBride.
