Barf alert: Governor Reno?
- Thread starter Coinneach

Yecch...
Ordinarily, I would say that the voters would be smart enough not to elect such a rope-a-dope for Governor, but then I recall that these are the same voters who were too STUPID to read and understand a ballot, but voted anyway.
I hate to say it, but I think Reno has a pretty good chance of being elected. I hope the Cubans remind the other voters just how little Reno respects the Constitution.

Common sense? I think not.
Rather she has delusional ideas which are self reinforcing and are the product of her deranged mental process. Her thinking, as revealed by her speeches, legal briefs and actions as attorney general, has become decidely more rigid and strange as her Parkinson's dementia has progressed.
I think it decidedly odd no one has publicly asked the question whether she's taking medication for the paranoid psychosis associated with her dementia. If I were one of her supporters that would be the first thing I'd ask.

Hmmm - a picture of Elian Gonzalez facing an HK submachinegun with the caption "Janet Reno's Day Care Plan - Coming To a Neighborhood Near You"
A picture of Waco burning, while a list of the dead scrolls across the screen, while you hear Janet's voice saying "I take full responsibility." A commentator then says "And the consequence of these deaths is a GOVERNORSHIP?"
These ideas could use some polish, but they'd make a dynamite campaign. But the GOP (aka The Stupid Party) will try to play nice . . . and lose.

I'm convinced that she's doing this because she's desperate to get some body guards, to replace the Secret Service agents who were protecting her a few months ago. I mean, if I'd done everything she has, I'D be desperate to surround myself with body guards!
Let her run, though; I doubt she can secure the nomination, let alone win the general election.

Lesson One of the Clintoon regime is, "it is easier to fight the judicial system if you are at the top of that judicial system."
If you rule out Lesson One, Reno's move to run for gov makes no sense.
My cynical, skeptical, paranoid, and suspicious mind says the Lady hath many skeletons in her closet. As Gov she is temporarily safe.
Can anyone give me an alternative reason for her running?

I just moved back to TX after living in FL for 2 years. IMHO, Jeb Bush will beat "Butch" Reno like a rented mule in the general election. I don't think the Dems are stupid enough to give her the nomination. Waco and Elian are just to much to overcome, politically. If she does get the nomination, she will hurt the entire Dem ticket in Fl, which is a good thing.
Today's Excite poll asks if you would like to have Reno become the governor of your state.

Negatives Too High
Reno's negative polling numbers are too high for her to win. I heard a pool reported on WDBO 580 her in Orlando that said that 65% of Floridians polled have a negative or VERY negative view of Reno.
You can also bet that Republicans will be out in FORCE to defeat her. She doesn't have a chance in hell.

Living in north Florida, I get the feeling that what will carry her is name recognition. Even though there are more 'qualified' democratic candidates, none of the democratic voters I talk to know them as much as they know her by name. Also, her having a disability like Parkinson's disease will give her a big boost with certain members of the community. Finally, given her recent CNN.com interview, it looks like education will be her main focus. Unfortunately, Jeb has been taking hits from the education community for some of his recent actions.
Hopefully, someone else will defeat her for the democratic spot, but it probably won't happen.
Personally, if she gets in, I fear she'll go gunning (no pun intended) for CCW and reciprocity that's in place now.

I live in Florida. I say that to put the following into context. Today I asked a gunowner at work what he thought about Janet Reno running for governor.
He didn't know who she was (remember now, we are in FLORIDA). He thought she was somehow involved in the election fiasco (he obviously confused her with Katherine Harris).
I informed him that Janet Reno was the Attorney General of the United States of America under the Clinton Administration.
His response was: "Oh, I don't pay any attention to that stuff. I only pay attention to things that affect my life."
This is a gun owner talking here. This is why despite the number of gun owners in this country, we can't seem to roll back any of the anti-Constitutional cr** that rolls downhill from DC every year.
The whole conversation left me very sad and discouraged.
