While McBride gets to return to a life of wealthy retirement in Tampa, Florida's governor has to confront the biggest challenge of his political career: how to implement an expensive amendment to the state constitution that requires smaller public school class sizes. To add insult to injury, he campaigned against the idea, but now has to enforce it. Is that laughter coming from Tampa...
