looks like Jeb Bush is out of the game...

Don't bet the farm on it yet. He may be playing the same game Gingrich played in 08 and in 12:

If you beg me, I will run. Please, beg me!

Bush disqualifying himself seems to be an opinion piece by Emma Karlin regarding his actions on the amnesty bill, not an actual statement by Bush that he would not seek the nomination.

Wow, talk about like minds!Good one Tom .

[Alas Babylon!]

I hear what you’re saying but....

I think he’s done. After RINOs Bush I, Dole, Bush II, McCain and Romney, the heart of the party—regular people—NOT the Rove-style consultants and Moscow-on-the-Potomac GOPe—is seriously looking for something different.

I do believe a battle royale is coming. If the GOPe pushes TEA partiers and conservatives out THIS time, there will be massive abandonment of the Republican party.

Last year I fought heavily with the anti-Mitts because, hey, he was better than Obama. And I still think Mitt would have been better than Obama, and Obama’s reelection has seriously screwed us over, with the damage to be yet unknown, but extensive.

However, I AM DONE. Yes me, Alas Babylon!, loyal Republican, has had his fill. I will not pull the lever (actually, fill in the circle with a number 2 pencil) for a RINO again.

I believe there are millions more coming to the same conclusion. The GOPe has got to take notice. Will they?

If Jeb is the nominee, there’s no way in Hell he’ll get my vote.
