Bush Endorses McBride!

Daily Kos: Bush endorses McBride

Bill McBride, the Democratic nominee for governor, has bagged the biggest endorsement of his campaign: Republican Gov. Jeb Bush.

“He really is one of the great Floridians of our time,” Bush says of McBride — the same opponent the governor has been attacking as a “reckless corporate lawyer” in ads for months.

Bush’s high praise, videotaped for an awards ceremony at McBride’s former law firm in 1999, begins airing today statewide. The McBride campaign has made Bush’s remarks the centerpiece of a new TV ad challenging the governor for running attack ads against McBride.

“Does Jeb Bush believe his own negative ads? ” the McBride spot asks. “You be the judge.”

Whoever is running McBride’s campaign is very good. These ads are potentially devastating. It makes Bush’s campaign look like either a lie, or forces him to explain why McBride has changed so much in the last three years. Combined with the “devious” remarks, they go a long way to painting Bush as untrustworthy.
