Jeb Bush interview, Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables, Florida.
The scene: Lunchtime at Jeb Bush's modest office just outside Miami. Just Tucker and Jeb, no one else in sight. Sandwiches. Jeb, only fifty-six, the smarter Bush boy, a good governor, with a great many people expecting that he's not yet finished, but after passing on the chance to run for Mel Martinez's Senate seat earlier this year, there's not an obvious path back to power for him. And his party is a shambles. Obama strides the globe like a colossus, Specter is days away from jumping, and Congressman Eric Cantor's sad rebranding effort is about to launch to no fanfare at a pizza parlor somewhere in Virginia. What will become of the once (and recently) great Republican party? And what role will one of its brightest stars — one of its only stars — play in its future?

No thank you Jeb. Go do something productive with your life.
I agree with Jesse now; Stay outa da Bushes.
No more Bushes, Kennedys, or Clintons.
Ever.
No.
Ummm, no, I’m done with Bushes. They talk a good line but in the end, they disappoint.
Bush 41:
- Read my lips, no new taxes (read between the lines, new taxes)
- David Souter, Supreme Court Justice
Bush 43:
- Bank bailouts
- Ramos and Compean
- Immigration reform
Although every president fails on some point or another, I’ve about had it with the Bushes.
Another Bush — another nonstarter.
I like Jeb. He did a very good job as Governor of FL., but I fear there will still be Bush fatigue in three years. It’s too bad I lke the family.
Jeb will NEVER be able to run...EVER!
Yucker Carlson pushing another Bush on us. To hell with these people. Get the f@#$ out of our lives!
(A) No more Bushes. (B) Written by Tucker “Phony Conservative” Carlson. Next question.
Outside of his family name, he is the perfect candidate for the GOP. It is too bad. GWB really ruined a lot of things during his second term by refusing to wage any sort of competent public relations efforts. Most of his decisions were right on, but his name is mud, as is the family name. I am big supporter of W, but it is really depressing to see the wasted opportunities that resulted from four years of ineffective appointments, lack of media plan, and abandonment of limited govt.
What about this bizarre scenario unendorsed by Obama:
It’s Romney’s turn to LOSE in 2012
It’s “Jebbie’s” turn to LOSE 2016 to Hillary!
Bush, Romney, Huckabee, Gingrich, Guiliani, McCain, - these are yesterday’s news. These people represent everything that is wrong with the Republican party today. They truly are LOSERS - and they have lost it for the American people. Because of them, we have Obama now.
Yesterday’s rules don’t apply anymore. It’s a whole new ballgame. If the GOP insists on keeping it’s tradition of running the “next person in line” - I will be through with them forever & so will a whole lot of people. Those days are over.
We've had enough Bush's.
Yes, he did a very good job as governor. I like them, too. But, like you said, Bush-fatigue will not go away for a long time.
His brother has destroyed the Bush name to such an extent that Jeb will never have a chance to at this point.
I always liked Jeb, and I wouldn’t mind it a bit if he occupied a prominent position in the Palin administration.
Hillary is already looking like a wretched, tired hag. By 2016, she’ll look like Helen Thomas and scare the h*** out of little boys and girls and everyone else.
