Florida Governor Jeb Bush has for months sternly rejected running to replace his brother in the White House, but only now we are finding out why.
Friends say it is his wife Columba, who closed the door, 'His wife just said no,' a close Bush Florida pal tells us.

Well we kinda got that hint when Jeb said No 10 times to the media.
Good.
Nobody wants a monarchy.
I think he could win with Condi as veep.
His wife said no? Who is making him out to be a girlyman??
I can't beleive that.
Generally speaking, a monarchy is an unelected succession of rulers. So if he were elected, there still wouldn't be a monarchy.
Who in their right mind would want another Bush in the White House?
Better than another Clinton (shudder)
2012 or 2016 perhaps.
A national run for the oval office would face some major hurdles:
His wife is Columbian, speaks very poor English, his daughters former drug problems would be a yellow journalist dream come true.
Basically, Jebs wife will not go though with a major national political run.
I can't blame her.
Better than another Clinton (shudder)

Yes, ANYTHING is better than a Marxist criminal in the Oval Office...but I would not want another Bush as well. Between "read my lips" and supporting illegal immigrants, I have had enough of pseudo-conservatives.
That is not what America needs -- where are Ike and Ronnie when we need them BADLY???
Nothing against Condi, but you are dreaming
She was born in Mexico
The First Lady was born in Leon-Guanajato, Mexico in 1953. She and Governor Bush have been married since 1974 and are the proud parents of three children George, 27, Noelle, 26, and Jebby, 20.
Oh puh_lees. You attack his wife for poor english and you look like a bigot, and attacking a daughter is an even bigger loser. I am not sure Jeb could beat Hillary, but not for those reasons.
Need real player to hear
I don't think the daughters former drug problem would be a hindrance, it was played all over the press when it happened.
The article is pretty damn wordy. There's only two words needed to explain why he won't run: Terri Schiavo.
I want Ann Coulter to run so she gets to debate Hitlery.
I kinda thought it was a dead issue, too. Then he goes and dredges up the Schiavo issue again, looking for something to hang her husband on. What kind of political advantage is he looking for in that?
