	Online NewsHour: The Florida Governor's Race -- Bill McBride Biography
		McBride was a high school football star and used his talent to win a scholarship to the University of Florida in Gainesville.
		While McBride had been involved in Democratic politics as a donor, fundraiser and a delegate to the national convention in 1984, he was a virtual unknown when he decided to challenge incumbent Jeb Bush for the governorship earlier this year.
		McBride has said he would do nearly the same thing, but has also advocated raising the salaries -- and thereby the quality -- of state welfare workers and adding staff to lighten the untenable case loads social workers are asked to handle.

		McBride went on to say the state's revenue sources are sufficient to meet Florida's needs and that McKay is on "the right track" by proposing that the state's sales tax should be applied fairly and equitably.
		As McBride travels the state warning that Florida's future is at risk, he will have to be careful not to come across as a business-as-usual Democrat who wants to return the state to the pre-Bush status quo in education and other areas.
		McBride is passionate on the need for the state to invest more in public education, almost to the point of sounding as if money is the whole of his education agenda.

	What the Media is Saying About the Race for Governor
		“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.
		McBride is asking voters to trust him to keep his promises, an appeal that has been complicated by his reluctance to trust the voters with the truth.” (St. Pete Times, 10/27/02)

		To defeat Bush, however, McBride would have to win over large numbers of Reno and Jones supporters in the traditional South Florida Democratic stronghold, which was one reason that state party leaders were hoping for a quick Reno concession to help unify the party.
