Could George P. Bush unseat Rick Perry in 2014?

It hasn’t been a month since Texas lawyer George P. Bush filed to run for state public office, but there’s already speculation that, come 2014, the Dubya kinfolk might run against Rick Perry for governor. And he might have a fair shot.

Then again, who wouldn’t?

Perry, gaffe champ, embarrassed his deep red state during the 2011-12 Republican presidential primaries. At one point this year, his job approval rating in the Lone Star State dropped to an all-time low at 40 percent — three percent lower at the time than President Obama’s among Texans. Worse yet, the very same poll showed that 56 percent of registered voters thought Perry shouldn’t even bother running in the 2014 gubernatorial race. But he is running, and, since Perry has made his way safely out of the limelight, the governor’s approval ratings have bumped back up to the mid-50s. For now.

There are already plenty of Texas Republicans gunning for the gubernatorial seat in 2014, and that should be frightening enough for an incumbent who has already been shamed on the national stage (not to mention was nicknamed ”Crotch” in his Texas congress days). But, hey, why not throw the nephew of President George P. Bush in the mix? Former Florida governor Jeb Bush wrote in a fundraising letter earlier this month that he “hope[s] you will write a personal check” for his boy who “is considering [running] for Land Commissioner.” But, sources say, George P. has told at least one Texas state senator that he has his eyes on the prize: governor of Texas.

Please, carlo3b, get a grip!

The last thing this country or conservatism needs is another generation of faux-conservative, globalist Bushes. And we wouldn’t/won’t survive the Bushes’ hoped for amnesty either.

Whoa.. LOL Where did I say I wanted another Bush?.. I spent the last 2 years of "W" term lambasting him, here and everywhere..

I was merely observing how, in today's dumb-down culture, even a Bush that is young, and handsome, and bilingual, could be elected.. Think about it, another BUSH vs CLINTON matchup..hahahaha

I don't know whether I am a 7th generation Texan or not but my family came here when Texas belonged to Mexico and I like Rick Perry too!
