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.

>>That being said, it seems to me that you may be paying more attention to what media pundits and professional politicos are saying, rather than taking the pulse of the people.<<
I don’t have any other way to take the pulse. But I am heartened by her book sales and she has been on point and clear for quite some time. If Sarah can get the nod, then this whole thread will be moot and we can ALL get on board, even my new best friend Arkinslaw!
*crossed fingers*
Besides, if you think that sasquatch Michelle is ugly, you should check out Jebs wife. He didn’t even bring her up to Tallahassee with him.
You can’t get much worse than illegal loving super liberal Jeb Bush!!!
“That worked great, didn’t it?”
What difference does it make if all we get is more socialism,no matter who’s elected? And that’s what we’ve been getting for a long time. No matter who wins,we lose.
I actually like Jeb more thanthe Georges. However, the name “Bush” will peel off a solid 15% of non-Dem voters who would otherwise be in play.
I think three members of the same family taking turns at president is a bit too many. John Quincy and Franklin Delano were no great shakes, either.
This country doesn’t do royalty.
Damn straight, and we love her for that. She speaks for millions upon millions of us, which scares the living crap out of the left and their four-legged fellow travelers.
She is the closest thing to Reagan in some time so she will get my vote if she is the nominee.

“If you are so hot on people giving up on their beliefs, why don’t you give up on your RINO beliefs and join us conservatives so we all win?”
I think he would fit better in the CPUSA!
Asking us to vote for another Bush reminds me of Lucy enticing Charlie Brown to kick the football... she promises to hold it... Come on Charlie Brown... just one more time!
Hey, if JR decides your vote, who am I to suggest otherwise?
I, OTOH, vote for myself.
Jeb is no Rino you moron.
Jeb Bush “ I am a headbanging conservative”
I think if you buy an abandoned oil rig in the North Sea, you can declare it a country. But I am not sure.
>>She is the closest thing to Reagan in some time so she will get my vote if she is the nominee.<<
Well, I’ll try to arrange to kiss Sarah and then make up with you.
Hey, a guy can dream, can’t he?
I never say never, but in this case I’ll make an exception.
