McCain Touts Jeb for 2008

The first name that popped out of U.S. Sen. John McCain's mouth Sunday as the Republican choice for president in 2008 was Jeb Bush, but the governor's spokesman repeated his position that he has no plans to run.

"If you're looking at dynasties, and by the way I'm a great admirer of Governor Bush, he's done a great job in Florida," the Arizona senator said on "Fox News Sunday." But he added, "This might be a wide-open situation."

In response to McCain's remarks, Bush spokesman Jacob DiPietre said: "The governor is focused on his job right now. He's got an ambitious agenda for his remaining time in office and has said repeatedly that he has no intentions of running" for president in 2008.

Don't know about the term limits but I THINK Jeb has to move on after this term. Not sure though. Maybe Prez down the line but as much as I would want him in '08...it wouldn't happen and probably shouldn't. If he can beat Bill nelson then let it happen. Go Jeb! We need him to stay in politics. Can't let these honest guys slip away.
