Bush/Palin 2016 called 'the GOP's only chance'
American Thinker via Blog on Washington Times ^ | June 28, 2013 | By Michael Sheppard

Posted on 06/28/2013 6:20:50 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Earlier this year, Jeb Bush told ABC that both his father George H.W. Bush, and brother George W. recommended he run for president in 2016. Mama Barbara Bush is not keen on the idea, declaring in April that “the nation’s probably had enough Bushes.”

But in the constantly shifting equations of potential Republican hopefuls for future president and vice president, the former Florida governor’s name has been tied with another former governor: Sarah Palin.

The pair have now been framed as a “the GOP’s only chance” in the race by American Thinker contributor Michael Sheppard.

“Would Jeb Bush have as good a chance, or better, than any other prospective GOP candidate? Most certainly he might. As a popular governor of Florida, married to a Hispanic, and who garnered a good proportion of the Hispanic vote, Bush would be in a strong position to carry the state,” he says, reasoning that Mr. Bush, as a southern governor, could also hold sway in Virginia and appeal to Iowa evangelicals and centrist voters in New Hampshire.

Should Hillary Clinton emerge as the Democratic candidate, it could also improve Mr. Bush’s “electability”. Then there is the Palin factor, Mr. Sheppard says. She brings ardent fans with her, of course.

“A Jeb Bush/president - Sarah Palin/vice-president ticket covers all the Electoral College, Evangelical, pro-life, centrist-conservative, experienced governorships, male/female bases,” he notes.....

Wrong.

Palin is number 3 in the last poll I saw.

Chris Cristie is number one. Don’t remember the second. And Palin is number three.

It’s a somewhat old poll, but there you go.

Obama gets homosexuals and black racist with a few white guilt self hating fools are all he;s go.

As for Bush , no thank you, Bush and the establishment should have been talking social issues and homosexuals and their agenda but instead the fools like them tell us to shut up and stay quiet as they’re cowards or they agree with the homosexual agenda\\\and they’re not gay they’re homosexuals, turd pokers, feces sex queers or what evr but they are not gay as they took that word to try and put a positive word on a perverted disgusting communist agenda and yes back in 63 the communists were pushing homosexuality in America to ruin us\\\

Just like to say to all those so called republicans who said don’t mention social issues, yea that really went well hey\\frigging idiots

I don’t seem to recall hundreds or thousands of articles, mentions, postings, references and asides about Judge Bork five years after he was voted down. If she’s been “Borked” why is the only political figure who gets more press than Governor Palin the chief executive of the world’s only hyperpower? If you can explain that to me, I’ll agree with you.

Here ya go, FReepers, the RNC’s choice for us. Rinse Prebus has already pre-selected Jeb and, to the best of my knowledge, Sarah isn’t onboard.

So, if Jeb is supposed to be at the top of the ticket in ‘16, how many or you are willing to wait until ‘20 or even 2024 to get a conservative back in the WH? Or even on the ticket, for that matter?

Hey cut the poster some slack.

It’s a relatively positive Palin piece, besides.

It would be just like 2008, one true Conservative and one huge RINO, totally unacceptable to Conservatives. Why next try 2012 again where BOTH candidates are unelectable?
