Ted Kennedy was the power broker in the Dim party and threw his weight behind Obama in a power play against the Klinton’s, in essence, to put them in their place . Ted’s now gone and the Kennedy power has waned, leaving the Klinton’s as the new power brokers of the Dim Party for the foreseeable future .

Like it or not ,on the Republican side, it’s Jeb’s if he wants it . There will be no other candidate that can match his power and money . He can, and will, pull a sizable amount of the Hispanic vote, which will be required to offset the lost single white female vote.
Again , like it or not , Rove and co. have the only modern day winning track record and will be a formidable force in 2016 if they choose to be .

Gotta disagree with you on that.

Just saying.

Rove scrapped out this election, very publicly.

And nobody wants any more Bushes.

I voted for Romney, I encouraged others to vote for Romney, in the despairing days right after the election loss I even excoriated people who didn't vote for Romney.

I will not vote for Jeb Bush. I was fooled by the 'electability' tag the GOP-E ties to moderates this time around. I'll write in micky moose before I vote for Jeb Bush.

He will get creamed anyway. There is just no way another Bush could be elected. If Jeb Bush runs against Joe "the gaff-master" Biden, he'll lose.
