Jeb Bush steers advisers toward Romney

Jeb would be best not to lean toward any candidate at this point. I have seen him campaigning with Rudy Giuliani when Jeb was up for re-election. I think the Giuliani/Jeb Bush ticket might carry Florida, a very important state.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

The democrats are licking their jowls over the hope that Rudy, Romney or McCain will be the MSM and RNC choice for the republican nominee.

[EarthBound]

Most assuredly. Jeb might as well grab any of those three and say "Here, vote for this RINO." If he really wanted to help out the cause, he could endorse someone like Hunter or Newt.

[Firefigher NC]

I won't be voting for any of those ones you mentioned.

[dinoparty]

The thing that scares me about Romney is the MSM will have the chance to use the "flip-flop" line against him, and call Repubs hypocrites for using it against Kerry in 2004.

[fantom]

Bush and Rudy ? Do you think we will ever elect another Bush ? So they win Florida , big deal , anyone can win there with jebs backing . You don't need him on the ticket to do that . NO more pols from the lucky sperm club...

[dinoparty]

Guliani: too liberal socially and too many skeletons
McCain: too old and too unpredictable
Romney: "Clinton-esque" in his poll watching?
Newt: too many personal skeletons, too much hated, and too loose lipped

Where do we turn???

...not sure about that....I think the Dems would hate to run against a Rudy type.....why?...cause he would pull alot of democrat, moderate and independent votes....sure he would lose conservative ones...but I think they would shudder at the thought.....

[DeerfieldObserver]

Mitt Romney should be honest and just admit that he had to pretend to be pro-Choice in order to run for office in liberal Massachusetts.

I think he really is pro-Life in his true feelings.

[NorCalRepub]

.well if he plays it right Rommney could over come that... it is not the Kerry flip flopping that happened within months or weeks....even Reagan was pro choice many moons ago.....Don't know him all that well....but with 500 million net worth....he has got the most cash

DUNCAN HUNTER!

Hmm, or just copy + paste the link!

"...not sure about that....I think the Dems would hate to run against a Rudy type.....why?...cause he would pull alot of democrat, moderate and independent votes....sure he would lose conservative ones...but I think they would shudder at the thought....."

LOL

Can we then rename the Republican party to democrat lite?

[libbylu]

I think Romney flipped. It would be a flip flop if he went back to his original position. If he would make illegal amnesty an isue he would probably move up in the polls really quickly. I hope I am not disappointed and he really is against illegal amnesty.

[redgirlinabluestate]

Jeb Bush, who hasn't publicly picked a favorite in the Republican presidential race, privately is talking up the candidacy of Mitt Romney and steering some of his closest advisers to the campaign.

Good news!

[mockingbyrd]

Can some one objectively tell me about Rommney?

I don't care that he's a Mormon. I am concerned by the fact he was elected in Mass. I know he's newly pro life. But what's the 411 on him? National Review liked him.

Of course they will. And in this case, they'd be right.

Funny how he saw the conservative light on so many issues right around the time that he decided to run for President....

[radar101]

If he was picked by ANY Bush--I DO NOT want him on the ballot.
That means we will have:
No Immigration enforcement
More Pandering to Islamofascists
More prosecution of defenders ( Military and Border Patrol)

[Brownback08]

Romney is Pro Life when he really needs the votes. Right now he does so he needs to do some flip flopping like others from Mass.
