Jeb Bush became the first big-name potential GOP presidential candidate to make a major 2016-related announcement Tuesday, announcing that he will "actively explore" a run.
Generally, this kind of announcement will be accompanied by an "exploratory committee" — which is both legally and practically the same thing as launching a campaign, and is usually just an excuse to have two separate campaign announcements.
The former Florida governor isn't quite going that far; he says he will launch a new leadership PAC in January instead.
But make no mistake: Bush just sent a clear signal that he's very serious about running for president in 2016 (in case that wasn't already clear) and will very likely take the plunge. And his decision to announce this in December 2014 places the onus on all the other GOP candidates to get their ducks in a row — in a hurry.

The oligarchy and the Dictatorship now ruling us will kill us long before your much-feared blue helmets will.
Obama is not interested in what the UN wants.
He is interested in wiping us out, until we are ashes under the feet of the rest of the globe.
And the GOP is helping him achieve it all.
Four million, just like you, stayed home and gave us Obama's second term!
Romney would have been no better.
Prove it.
A photo isn't proof. Give me proof! All I'm saying, is you can't. Romney has never been President, and hopefully, will never be President.
David Axelrod called Jeb “formidable”. Trouble is that most low info voters have no idea who Axelrod and may take him at his word. No more dynasties, please.
We need to organize well before 2016 - come up with just 1 good conservative and get him all the support possible. Bumper stickers, facebook posts, standing on street corners with signs up....Whoever he is, he needs an ARMY of believers who will fight for AMERICA now not in 2016! He has to commit NOW so we can get going. My vote is for Ted Cruz, but if it turns out to be someone else like Scott Walker or Rick Perry, then fine just we all have to agree upon 1 guy and then support him.
We will never be able to agree on who the “conservative” choice should be, as there are too few conservatives to make much difference.
People must believe in Common Core, as it is used in what, forty or more states? But it won’t make any difference in the long run. Ignorance is forever.
The only stay-at-homes that made any difference at all were in VA, OH, FL, CO, WI, and IA. Nowhere else did it matter at all.
Ditto here, too!
Good God!!
Jeb was already alive when JFK was assassinated while his dad was in the CIA flying above Texas while JFK was being assassinated. How long has this been going on?
