Give Bush Another Term
October 27, 2002
Voters should return Gov. Jeb Bush to Tallahassee for a second term.
While not the ideal governor, he has provided solid leadership during trying economic times and has the experience and pragmatism to lead the state in the difficult years ahead. Bush has a detailed grasp of the issues and isn't afraid to take tough stands that offend powerful special interests.
The Republican governor's Democratic opponent, Bill McBride, on the other hand, appears to have no concept of the economic realities facing Florida. It's truly frightening that a major candidate for governor would support constitutional Amendment 9 limiting school class sizes, and other spending initiatives, without any understanding of the financial chaos they would bring to the state. It's absurd to think the chaos would be mitigated by his proposed additional 50-cent tax on a pack of cigarettes.
McBride, 57, campaigns with the down-home, good ol' boy style popularized by the late Gov. Lawton Chiles, but Chiles he's not. In fact, McBride is the Democratic standard-bearer only because Democrats with substantially greater qualifications dropped out of the race. They did so when former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno entered it and appeared to be a shoo-in for her party's nomination.
There needs to be a compelling reason to remove a competent incumbent from office, and the lackluster McBride candidacy clearly does not provide it. Doing good works in the Tampa Bay area and heading a law firm hardly qualifies him for election to the highest office in state government.
