For those who haven't been following (and if you're going so far as to click on GeekPol, you have been following), Bill McBride is a political unknown running for the Democratic nomination for Florida governor against a rather more famous opponent, member of teh GOP haet lits Janet Reno. Now polls have the incumbent governor Jeb Bush (R-election thief) ahead of Reno by a lot, but ahead of McBride by not much. So what's his strategy? Why, attack McBride, of course.
Suffice it to say that thanks to Jebbie's attacks and to Florida's more closed primary system than California's, McBride is no longer a political unknown. Says here that nine of ten Democrats recognize McBride. And now that they know him, they like him better than Reno. Oh yes, they like him almost as much as Bush too.
Way to evict yourself, Jebbie. We know that because of the drug laws and your coked-up kids you should have been evicted from the Governor's Mansion anyway, but now voters can make it official.
More from Hesiod about how McBride is now a lock to win the Democratic primary.
On edit: I haven't been following that well if I referred to Bill McBride as Ron McBride.
