Gov. Jeb Bush said Sunday he will not run for president in 2008 and defended his brother from critics who say the president refuses to acknowledge his mistakes.
The governor also denied a report that he knew of problems with a list of felons to be purged from the state's voter rolls months before it was discarded.
"I'm not going to run for president in 2008. That's not my interest," Bush told ABC's "This Week." "I'm going to finish my term."
Bush said he was not going to think about his next move until after completing his second term in 2006. In an Associated Press survey in August, more than a third of the state's Republican delegates said they favored Bush as the party's presidential candidate in 2008.

Bullcrap. McCain has spent more time defending Kerry than he has Bush.
I hope they can make him more photogenic. The guy looks like Kerry's cousin in that photo.
Looks like I'll have to keep an eye on this guy's positions. If he's pro-abort, pro-illegal, pro-gay marriage and anti-gun, he's losing my vote.
McCain NEVER had any intention of being Kerry's VP.
NEVER.
But, that's what YOU posted.
Rudy would be running for president, he himself would be running, what does that have to do with some third person like Arnold delivering CA to Bush?
Yep, the next George is this one. He is articulate and pleasant to the eyes, he's just a little young yet. Give him a few more years and he could be president.
Did I say he did?
But, that's what YOU posted.
That's pure Bravo Sierra and you know it.
HERE is what I wrote: Nevermind that he was about _this close_ to being Kerry's running mate.
I stand by that. Sorry, but only a fool would claim that McCain is more closely aligned with Bush than he is with Kerry.
The claim that Rudy will win over a load of Liberals just because he's Rudy is just asinine. You can't say that with any certainty and you know it. What's more, I'm not fooled by it. So you're just blowing the same kind of smoke that the Arnold-bots were blowing a little over a year ago.
You're the fool.
McCain is NOT aligned with sKerry.
He is a senate colleague and John
goes way overboard trying to be a statesman
so the media will continue their love affair with him.
McCain went to bat for Kerry when the Swift Boat Vets went after Kerry. McCain authored the CFR. And you're trying to claim that McCain is NOT aligned with Kerry?
Enjoy your delusions, fool.
Well, there appear to be (R)'s still hoping to eventually run the guy who did this:
[George P.] Bush went further in defaming the character of our Border Patrol agents and their supervisors: "If there has been American approval for this policy, that is reprehensible," George P. Bush said of the guns, essentially paintball projectiles filled with chile powder. "It's kind of barbarous."
well maybe you can explain how he won as mayor of NYC twice then - with a 5:1 ratio of Ds to Rs, without getting any Democratic votes. give that one a shot, toss out a few more insulting phrases to make it all come together for you.
Surprise! NYC is not the entire state of New York! I know this comes as a shock to you, but I hope you'll adjust.
that's right - the rest of NY State has a higher republican ratio of voters then NYC. LOL!
And those pubbies voted in Hillary Clinton for their Senator! ROTFLOL!
Wait! Can't reconcile that with your illusory scenario? Awww...too bad.
where do you see that registered republicans voted for Hillary over Lazio? Hillary got all the Dems (which is the majority of the state), and if she had gotten the Rs to, she would have won 80-20.
somwhere there is a map showing which counties in NYS voted for Hillary, and which counties voted for Lazio (a weak candidate by the way). That map will tell you all you need to know about whatever theory you are trying to put together here.
I know enough to know that he's a pro-abortion, anti-Second Amendment RINO who crafted the CFR which handicapped the Republican campaign and gave established 527s like MoveOn.org a hand up.
Don't even think you can lecture me about McCain, boy. I've had his number a long, long, long time.
HA!
He's pro-life.
You're dismissed.
