Jeb Bush Could Emerge As GOP Nominee At A Brokered Convention, Says Top Republican By TOBY HARNDEN 11th February 2012
Al Cardenas, head of the American Conservative Union, has said that Republican turmoil might lead to a brokered convention in which Jeb Bush, former Florida governor, would emerge as a 'possible alternative' party nominee.
Mr Cardenas, who is running this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a gathering in Washington of some 10,000 conservatives, told MailOnline that it was not certain that one of the four current Republican candidates would emerge victorious.
His comments came as Republicans fretted publicly about the perceived weaknesses of Mitt Romney, the establishment choice and frontrunner, Rick Santorum, surprise winner in three states on Tuesday, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.
President Bush? Jeb Bush could emerge as the Republican candidate, according to a senior figure in the GOP
Jeb Bush, former Florida governor and younger brother of President George W. Bush, has repeatedly said he will not run in 2012. He is one of a number of senior figures who disappointed activists and party officials alike by staying on the sidelines.
'We'll know more in the next few weeks,' said Mr Cardenas. 'The pressure’s already been on Mitt Romney to close the sale... and he hasn’t.' A split verdict on 'Super Tuesday' on March 6th, when 10 states vote, could lead to a surprise at the Republican convention in Tampa in August, he suggested.

another bush?
hell just give obama 450 evs now
If so, I guess I skip the election this time around.
STAY IN THE BUSHES! JEB We don't need you now.
I said after Santorum’s 3sweep they would again dust off the Jeb Bush rumours.
These guys are so predictable.
Hell No!
No more dynasties.
No Kennedys, no Clintons, and no Bushes.
No more dynasties ever.
Delusional.
About a year ago, when asked about his political future, Jeb Bush answered, “No tengo futuro.” He was right.
Jeb Bush is about as popular among Conservative Republican voters as a loaf of molded bread... Jeb Bush offers nothing to the core of the Republican voters except the same old elitist establishment RINO recycled democrat lite crap...
Jeb, eh?
That would guarantee that the GOP would go the way of the Whigs.
I enjoy reading these Brit rags because they actually report news that the 0BowMao media won’t, but their source for this one is a loser! I like Jeb, but it is NOT his time!
How many elections since 1952 have featured a Nixon or a Bush for President or VP?
(52, 56, 60, 68, 72, 80, 84, 88, 92, 00, 04)
Doesn’t the US have any other sources from which to draw candidates?
Or is the result all rigged by the elites?
Bushrombama = RNCGOP.
This just proves that the GOP is the MOST S-T-U-P-I-D political party on this earth !!!!
