I have dark suspicions about all this, well-fed by my predatory cynicism. Bush interfered with the Dem. primary with attack ads against McBride, "unexpectedly" boosting McBride in the polls over Janet Reno. Bush kept running those ads, so he must have liked their "unexpected" results. Now on his watch and Katherine Harris', polls close early and votes are lost in greater Miami, Reno's stronghold. Jeb has chosen his opponent. Florida needs Jimmy Carter and the UN election monitors, and probably peacekeeping troops. Better still, Bush's brother should send in the special forces and install a democratic government here. It isn't a free country when elected officials can officially throw an election (or two) and throw out our votes in the process.
