No more Bushes, though
Dear God, Please have Palin get into the race. She is the one who can beat Obama. Bachmann and Santorum are others that could beat Obama. The rest will lose to Obama for sure.
Read my lips...NO MORE BUSHES !
I had to grit my teeth when she said this, hoping that she wasn’t referring to Jeb when she said it.
IF she decides to run... I am ready to give her $2500.00 and go to WAR FOR AMERICA with her.
LLS
As Governor of Florida, Jeb stood idly by while a woman was starved to death on the say-so of her husband.
And we’ll have to relive his wife trying to sneak items through customs. Please no
I guess that no one told these folks that the filing deadlines in the some states have already closed and there is no clamor for them to run anyway. If anyone thinks they can slide into this in the middle of the process with zero money or any ground game and win the nomination, they are mistaken.
Not going to happen.
“Key people” = establishment types who detest Palin, Perry, Cain, and even Gingrich for not being sufficiently “one of us”. Mitt’s a member in good standing but might be a little past his sell-by date if the aroma coming from his campaign is any indication. Jeb would be wise to soft-pedal this one, IMHO.
And Jeb Bush is going to be visited by some very powerful party insiders and asked - again - to reconsider his decision not to run for president.
Anything can happen if the convention goes to brokering, anything.
Me too. At first I thought you typed 250K....lol. I was thinking, “well I certainly can give her some cash but 250K....no way. :-) This entire Republican race will change dramatically. She really needs to get in the race immediately because I just heard on Fox News that Ron Paul may win Iowa. Now I know that it won’t make a difference as he won’t get the nomination, but I am worried that he MIGHT run third party. They just said that Paul would get 21 percent, Romney would get 30 percent and Obama would get 44 percent. Of course why they are using Romney I don’t know, but they said they used him because he has the biggest percentage out of the candidates.....I don’t know if I believe that or not. Anyway, Paul CANNOT run 3rd Party. I really hope he does NOT!!!!
Sarah, Michelle -- love you both. Both true conservatives, IMO.
Just say no to Bush. Not that bush, but Jeb Bush.
Let’s see...
Bush - Clinton - Bush - Obama - Bush???
Sure, that makes a lot of sense.
There is no historical example that anyone can point at to show that this “jump in super late and pray for a brokered convention” concept would remotely work. The last brokered convention was in ‘76 between Ford and Reagan and both men competed in all the states to have enough delegates at the convention to battle it out. In the end, the establishment won, which it usually does. Either Palin or Bush would come up very short on delegates, if any to go to the convention with to fight. It would be an embarrassing defeat.
