Hasn't Jeb said "No" to this a multitude of times???

How many will it take before the media gets it???

[RWR8189]

I like Jeb, but I think he's been pretty clear

[Shawndell Green]

I like Jeb better than either George. I'd vote for him for President over most of the putative candidates.

[bobjam]

It must be observed: every GOP Presidential ticket since 1976 had either a Bush or a Dole on it.

Jeb Bush has done a very good job as governor- even moderate Democrats here accept that. In his second inaugural address, he said that he plans to measure his success by the number of empty state office buildings around Florida.

The dynasty issues is a concern. Yes, FDR was elected 4 times. His last two races however weren't exactly landslides, and the election of 1944 was surpisingly close (becuase most voters were choosing between Truman and Dewey). Of course the dynasty issues would be mooted if Hillary ran as the dems would have the same problem. Jeb would have a lot more to show for 8 years in Tallahassee than Hillary would have for 8 years in the Senate.

you don't want Jeb for president. he can't run florida -- florida runs him.

[Graymatter]

His surname is not his biggest liability.
Ever see a guy come back from a rest room with a line of bathroom tissue trailing out of his pants? Like he pulled up his pants too carelessly?
Jeb's biggest liability is his long white SPINE trailing from his behind, on the way out from a meeting with Judge George Greer.

Jeb ain't too bright. He is not an activist, his genius lies in leaving well enough alone, not messing things up. The buoyant Florida economy and housing market make him look good

Yes, I'm happy to have him as my governor rather than some Donk.

[Brilliant]

It won't be Bush 44. But it might be Bush 45.... particularly if it's Clinton 44.

[OESY]

The smart money is on Jeb.

[cotton1706]

With one exception (the great race of 1964), we've had either a Nixon, a Bush, or a Dole on the national ticket since 1952. It's time for somebody else. I won't vote for another Bush. I'm for Allen.

[Hermann the Cherusker]

Can't we please, as a nation, move on from having the Bush or Clinton families rule us? Surely there are some other qualified people to run for one of the major parties than Hildabeast and Jeb?

[JohnnyZ]

Jeb would make a great president.

If he ran I would support him 100%.

Yes, I doubt he would run this time.

No, this is not a monarchical anything. Jeb Bush is, actually, the prominent political figure that I would most like to see as president after GWB on his merits. Denying someone the chance to be elected simply because of his family is as antithetical to democracy as supporting someone because of their family.

I'm not giving my vote to anyone who has supported illegals getting drivers licenses. Any candidate wanting my vote in '08 better convince me that they're going to do everything in their power to deport illegals and secure our borders and coasts. The security of our borders and coasts is the single biggest issue for me with what's going on in the world. Supporting or rewarding those who breech our border security measures inspires others to attempt the same thing, which bolsters the smuggler market and weakens our national security.

No support from me for anyone who doesn't believably pledge to secure this country!

[montag813]

Please no more Bushes.

[Antoninus]

No thanks. This country needs some new blood.

Allen for pres!

[68 grunt]

NO, no, no, no, no!

I don't know what's going on, but Gov jeb Bush would be a fantastic president for the entire country, whenever he runs, in 2008 or 20012 or 2016, of that I am sure.
