LOL, well apparently Bush has "endorsed" McBride:
"He really is one of the great Floridians of our time," Bush says of McBride
"Tough, disciplined, focused," Bush said.
"I know Bill from his leadership at Holland & Knight," Bush said in the
interview taped for the awards ceremony. "Back when I was in the real world,
we used the services of his law firm, and met him then. And almost in every
civic endeavor with a statewide focus you'll see Bill McBride involved.""

F lorida voters have an admirable history of winnowing the gubernatorial
field to two well-qualified candidates.
Consider the losers of the last six governor's races: Buddy MacKay, a
lieutenant governor, U.S. congressman and state lawmaker; Bush, state
secretary of commerce and successful businessman; Bob Martinez, governor and
Tampa mayor; Steve Pajcic, state lawmaker; L.A. ``Skip'' Bafalis, U.S.
congressman; and Jack Eckerd, founder of one of the nation's most successful
drugstore chains.
Beyond their solid records of achievement, all these individuals were
intelligent, committed and trustworthy - eminently capable of leading the
state.
So are two candidates this year, though you might not think it to hear the
heated campaign talk.
Tampa Democrat Bill McBride, the political newcomer who is running a
surprisingly strong race, led the powerful Holland and Knight law firm with
vigor and imagination. He has long supported charitable and civic causes.
Some telling decisions: McBride gave up a University of Florida football
scholarship after he was injured because he felt keeping it would hurt the
team. He later left college, enlisted in the Marines and served as an
officer in Vietnam, where he earned the Bronze Star for valor in combat. He
volunteered because he did not want to see someone else serving in his
place.
Bill McBride is a man of character, but we worry about his wide range of
liberal preferences, particularly his apparent intent to undo public school
reforms and give teacher unions control over many education policies.
Beyond that, it appears to us that his wish list of education improvements
would require tax increases unlikely to be applauded by the Legislature or
most Floridians. Which is not to say that state tax reform is unneeded. It's
just not in the cards any time soon.
The governor he seeks to replace is a man of principle and resolve. When
campaigning four years ago, Jeb Bush pledged to overhaul state government.
This bold, energetic leader has kept his promise, moving to make virtually
every aspect of government more accountable and more efficient.
He has streamlined government operations, privatized some services, cut
personnel and generally challenged the status quo.
While not free of missteps, he has been balanced and thoughtful on growth
management and environmental protection. He has been a visionary ally of
economic development and a strong proponent of law enforcement.
His controversial education plan has forced public schools to work harder to
provide all students the skills they need to succeed in life. And he has
been willing to make changes to address the concerns of educators and
parents.
`One Florida' Is Working
He designed a plan to help minorities while eliminating racial quotas,
proposing ``One Florida'' to defuse a referendum campaign to outlaw all
affirmative action policies that would have restricted the state's ability
to aid minorities.
Statistics show Bush's strategy - which includes guaranteeing that the top
20 percent of students in every high school senior class are accepted into a
state university - is working.
Still, the governor could do a better job of involving the public before
undertaking such dramatic changes. But he campaigned on the need to change
government and is doing precisely what he said he would do.
Bill McBride is a quality person and candidate, but Bush has kept his word
to the people of Florida and deserves a second term. For governor of
Florida, the Tribune endorses Jeb Bush.

Yes, that's one papers opinion and a Conservative paper at that. Yet, Jeb
is on video tape praising McBride! Floridians can expect to see a lot of
that video of Jeb singing McBride's excellent qualities over the next 10
days!

Why is it funny when a conservative newspaper backs the conservative
candidate? I am truly perplexed here. What is your point?
