the country will not elect another Bush on the heels of Bush 43. no way. Jeb knows this, so he is smart to sit this one out.

I think you're right, especially as Bush has stated he is going to spend political capital. He is not greasing the skids for an official successor.

"I think you're right, especially as Bush has stated he is going to spend political capital."

Depends on what. Spend capital on real conservative policies? No problem. Spend it on amnesty for illegals and raising taxes for Social Security "reform"? That's a problem.

Jeb is a great guy but has way too much of his own baggage. His wife was caught trying to avoid a $16,000 customs bill with designer clothes she brought back from a trip to Europe, his daughter is a certifiable drug addict, and his son has had trouble with the police over a fist fight in a former girlfriend's front yard with her new beau. Florida is doing well, but they Dems would make a huge deal of the missing ADC children.

Maybe when he's older and his kids have grown up.
