Thank you. Another very good reason not, besides the creepy and disturbing aspect of course, is that a push for Jeb would REALLY make us rank and file conservatives seem like sheeple for doing it. The name of Bush has had its turn for a good long while in my opinion. There have to be many other options available and we have plenty of time left to find and push him or her.
Well, maybe. I don't exactly want to see several conservative candidates run and split the primary vote and let a moderate grab the nomination, but what we've got so far isn't as good as Jeb.
Sam Brownback -- honest, principled, upstanding conservative
George Allen -- likely nominee, I like him on most everything, but his tolerance of abortion until brainwave activity (40 days?) is obviously not ideal
Tim Pawlenty -- conservative with populist streak, I'm with him on the fundamental issues, has to get reelected first
Mark Sanford -- says he's not running, conservative but his libertarian streak results in some strange votes
So at this point I'm looking at a choice between two candidates, maybe three if Pawlenty runs. That's a fairly constrained choice. As for other candidates, possibly, but it takes mega$$$ to run a campaign, and if we're gonna get someone else we'd better start soon.
