It's looking highly likely that the 2012 Republican presidential nominee will be a retread.
With Gov. Mark Sanford at wit's end, and Sen. John Ensign joining Sanford at adultery camp, and Gov. Jon Huntsman going to China, and Gov. Bobby Jindal flopping in his first big national TV appearance, and Gov. Mitch Daniels saying he doesn't want to be president, and Gov. Sarah Palin running such an undisciplined operation up there in Alaska, the prospect for fresh blood is thinning.
We got some old party leaders from down South—Gov. Haley Barbour and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich—and a couple of former governors who couldn't beat John McCain last time out—Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.
And then there is Jeb.
Yes, my friends. It is sad but true. We have not seen the end of the Bush dynasty yet.
Two things must happen for Americans to forget George W. Bush's awful performance, and let his brother Jeb have a turn in the Oval Office. First, a lot of other GOP contenders must self-destruct. Second, Barack Obama has to fail spectacularly.
The Republican hopefuls are doing their part.
So now it's time to see how nasty the old hands from the Bush administration get. Watch them carefully in the coming months. From W on down, the more the Bushies rip Obama, the more they are thinking Jeb in 2012.

“Farewell to George W. Bush. The. Worst. President. In. Modern. History.
Except for Nixon. That glowering paranoid freak sucker-punched the economy with his absurd price controls, secretly bombed Cambodia and led a gang of burgling henchmen who would later fill the federal prisons.
And Johnson. The most divisive event in modern American politics, it may surprise you to learn, is not the premature draping of a “Mission Accomplished” banner on an aircraft carrier or the decision to wiretap members of Al Qaeda’s Friends and Family plan. It was the Vietnam War. It was a little matter of 60,000 fine Americans - many of them draftees, not volunteers - sent off to die for an irrelevant sliver of jungle on the shady pretext of a trumped-up, possibly fictitious attack................”
Yeah, let’s go with the political dynasty approach. No different than recycling Mitt the Twit, the RINO preacher or the MSM annointed “America’s Mayor”.
This would result in nothing more than locking in the Nazi socialist democrat party into power for the distant future.
