What about Bill McCollum? Is he solid, and (maybe more importantly) is he a good candidate?

What about Connie Mack?

Who is on the bench down there?

Jeb has no other place to go except the Senate.

He can't afford the pay cut. He was Governor. That's all he wanted. Now he's got his business interests and his family.

I think he was generally a good guy. But his open borders stance was the pits. Florida went for the Dem's this year but I think it still leans red. It would be a disaster however to tun a religious right candidate, however. I have to give him cudos because he actually stepped out instead of running a doomed campaign like Stevens, Katherine Harris, Ernie Fletcher, Tom Feeny, Conrad Burns and a host of others we had running in the last two years who couldn't figure out that their time was up. Mel showed class in not running! Hurray for Mel!Are you listening Jim Bunning?

Maybe they can get Jeb Bush to run.

You mean enviro-greenie, pro-amnesty, private property grabber, anti-drilling Jeb Bush the RINO?

As a Floridian and with all due respect, NO THANK YOU.

Rush Limbaugh is a resident of Palm Beach and I am pretty certain if he ran, he would win at least 68 percent of the vote.

Limbaugh is very popular down here and has great name recognition. Anne Coulter is another popular choice, but not as much of a shoe-in as Rush Limbaugh would be.

I’d like to think we’ve finally learned our lesson as it regards electing a Bush to any national office.

we’re not really blue, we’re still red, every ballot question went conservative and the state has found voter fraud, double voting from the snow birds of the north east plus illegals voting.

Please, for the love of all that is good, holy, and righteous...no more Bushes!

But, but, don't you understand the importance of family name and the greatness of political dynasties which entitles one to automatically be seated in elected office? You know like the Kennedy's. Forget their policies, records, or qualifications, the name means privileged. /sarcasm

Seriously though two Kentibumport Kennedy's is enough for a life time or three. No more Bushes in DC for me. The GOP can do better. No Drill Jeb? No Thanks! Maybe Poppy has a place for him in the families Pandering to China business.

Jeb! is MUCH more conservative than either his dad or his brother. He is the real deal. I know, I know...believe me, I know what you’re thinking. But I think JEB! was instrumental in getting us a Republican-controlled legislature in Florida for the first time in like 100 years.

He was a fine governor, got across the board support from all over the state AND HE DID NOT COMPROMISE CONSERVATIVE VALUES.

George P. Bush, Jeb’s son, has been on tv lately. He’s big on illegal immigration. Remember Bush 41 called George P. “the little brown one”. George P. hates protecting the border.
