From the Tampa Bay Times…This issue regarding Bush could have been a major talking point in campaign 1998, but Buddy MacKay, a dignified and humble public servant the likes this state has rarely seen since choose not to drag the campaign into the mud. MacKay’s efforts to elevate the discourse by talking about issues and the damage Bush Republicans would do to the state were a clear warning as to what we have suffered through the last 15 years.

This story will be fascinating to watch as the next year unfolds.
