A new poll suggests that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush stands to gain the most from Mitt Romney’s decision not to run for president for the third time.
A Fox News poll released Thursday before Mr. Romney’s decision was announced found that Mr. Bush was the second choice of many who favored Mr. Romney, and would lead the field in his absence.
Although Mr. Romney would have led the field with 21% of Republicans surveyed by Fox, the poll found that in his absence Mr. Bush rose to No. 1 spot with 15%, followed by Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky tied with 13% each.

Duh...
Well, since this will be the case, I don’t have to pay much attention to the 2016 elections. I won’t vote for another Bush. I have always voted, but if Bush is the candidate, I figure that it really is too late for America.
Nobody even bothers to hide how corrupt this country is anymore. The candidates are imposed on us.
stay outta da bushes!
The Rockefeller Republicans are overjoyed.
RINOs of a feather...
Gee, I thought all the romneyites would immediately join the Cruz bandwagon./s
Note to GOPe: I wouldn’t vote for Jeb Bush as National Dogcatcher even if the country were overrun with Chihuahuas.
No more family dynasties from either party.
Indeed. Some will find this SHOCKING - but not me. Ze Plan iz verking.
Yeah, the propaganda. The media will try and destroy the other candidates on both sides so Jeb wins. Continuing the attack on christians and all things decent. Pushing the muslims on us , attack on gun rights, pushing diversity, taking away internet freedom. This is the satanic Bush.
Isn’t there another poll out that shows Jeb “Amnesty” Bush 6th, which may be an improvement from 7th?
This Week
Raddatz tries to trip Walker up on foreign policy, on (illegal) immigration.
Ironic that she mentions ‘problems the next president will inherit’ considering that the Media continues to be in bed with the current president — who has caused or continued most of the problems the next president will inherit.
I was hoping mittens would have stayed in. I wanted to see Jeb and Mittens take each other out during the primary season and we could get a real candidate.
Hmmm. This Week interview is over. It only lasted about 5 minutes or so. I guess Raddatz didn’t like Walker’s responses and seemed to cut it short. Rather strange, since Walker was the only scheduled guest on the program.
It’s past time that we beat the bushes for a fresh candidate.
For the rest of the year, we will all be saying, “Yah, right. And who is (name of network) polling? ABC right thru CNN generally oversample groups that will favor their candidate,in this case,the candidate that Hillary will beat.
Mitt's feint to run "forcing" Jeb to announce was planned by the GOPe to create the "excitement" of a horse race and establish Jeb as the unbeatable "front runner".
It was a manufactured event timed to suck the oxygen out of the room for conservatives like Cruz, Walker, Palin, etc., speaking at the Iowa Freedom Summit. It provided the opportunity for the media to focus on the RINO coronation and downplay the overwhelming support and excitement generated at the for the leaders in Iowa.
