Jeb Bush is unique in that he is both unknown and known. He can certainly win a GOP primary, and can raise the money to compete with frontrunners Palin and Romney. I think Jeb will be getting more involved over the next several months, starting with the Florida senate primary. I also think Cheney is a Jeb proxy, and that his attacks are meant to undermine Obama while moving the country back into the Bush/Cheney policy direction, awaiting a new leader to take the torch from the former Vice President. Remember, Cheney earlier this year, unprompted, suggested he would support Jeb Bush for president in 2012. Considering that there are significant people in the party harping about a Cheney run, as well as a media fascination with such a run, coupled with the realty that a 71 year old with a bad heart simply will not run, opens the door to Jeb Bush taking up the mantle in 2012. Bush would fill that media desire to clash Obama with Cheney, only enhancing it.
With Huckabee and Palin potentially sitting out in 2012, there is a huge opening for someone to take up the anti-Romney position. Bush, with his vast network of connections, his organizing potential, and the generation of political chits collected by the Bush family, puts Jeb in as good a position as a Pawlenty or a Daniels to make a bid and challenge Romney. Now if Palin runs, and the field fills up, then Jeb will likely wait until 2016, or simply stay out of public life and let his son, George P. Bush (nicknamed 47 by the family) take up the presidential legacy down the line.

Never thought I would agree with Jesse Jackson, “STAY OUTTA DA BUSHES!”
Voting 3rd party is a wasted vote. I am loathe to do it. But even I have my limit. FWIW, I held my nose and voted for McLame, so you see my tolerance is awfully, awfully high.
That said, I will not stand for a royal family dynasty in the USA. I will never vote for another Bush family member as long as I live. He would have to be cloned from George Washington before I would vote for him.
This time, nothing matters in the campaign. In 2012, the Republican nominee will win. The ecnomy will still be bad, Obama will be blamed, and the Republican will win the presidency. That simple. It doesn’t even matter for the purposes of election, who runs. The Dem could be golden and the Republican could stink. The Republican still wins.
This makes the primary VERY important to us. We need to get a hard right conservative nominated. They are going to be a lock to win, due to the bad economy.
The American people have the political attention span of an ADHD flea. They watch 3 commercials and then pull the lever for the best liar. The collective electorate is the most dumbed-down it has ever been. I want to see a return to only property owners and tax payers vote. If you are on the dole, you don’t vote.
America is getting the government she deserves because as the electorate gets dumber and dumber, it takes less voter fraud for the Dems to throw each election, even as their fraud increases since the electorate is dumber. Viscious cycle. Socialism here we come. I am so glad I was not just born to this world.
Look, MORON, I cast my vote for Sarah in deep blue California so bite me.

Tut tut...
She wasn’t running for President that I can recall. Next time, maybe (and she will get 100% of my support and as much money as I can give).
The ONLY case being made ...is that of the Oligarchy.....the American people should’nt put up with this nonsesne any longer
The site looks and reads like a Paid Political Advertisement. Paid for by whom? Bush for President interests or the backdoor RNC?
The writer is clueless, and there are OHHHHHHso MANY examples of this cluelessness coming from Establishment Politics :every time we turn around it’s either the RNC itself or just RNC buttboys still stuck in that kind of thinking, showing that they SIMPLY don’t know the movement that’s going on in this country right now. They STILL think they can force a unwanted candidate down our throats, like they did McCain——that won’t happen again. NONE OF THOSE
candidates pictured has a shot, not even remotely-—there are a few REAL Republicans out there whose public image already suggests there are potential leaders, like Jim De Mint and Inhofe, maybe a handful of others. But the elephant in the room, of course, and probably the main reason all these potential candidates are rolled out for our “approval”, is none other than Sarah Palin, who is unquestionably the ONLY ONE OF THEM that commands grassroots appeal, tremendous crowds, and spontaneous love and respect. SHE is included, of course, but it’s only so that they can start the process of knocking her down a peg or two as they built up the Hopeless Ones.
Get real the most of the vast middle will never vote for another Bush or Clinton either as far as that goes.
