It's one of the more interesting what-ifs of the past few decades. What would have happened if both George W. and Jeb Bush had won their gubernatorial bids in 1994? Which brother would have run for President in 2000 against Al Gore? Late in George W. Bush's second presidential term, I asked his father this question. The senior Bush shrugged, waving off the hypothetical. "Who knows?" he replied. "Didn't happen." Then, after the briefest of pauses, the 41st President added, "If Jeb wants his shot, he should have it. He's done the work, been a governor--a very fine governor, I might add--and if he wants to go for it, I hope he does."
That hope, it is safe to say, endures. No one who knows George H.W. Bush seriously doubts that the former President would like to see Jeb mount a campaign for the White House

Please Jeb, run! Between killing Terri Schiavo and your awarding Sir Hillary with a Liberty Medal, you sure are a great guy. I would love to have my dogs, crap in your hats.
To: WilliamIII
Karl must be starting early vetting RINO’s this time.

Even the name “Jeb” conjures up white racist, redneck, hillbilly, Johnny Reb, NRA, macho male, homophobic associations for most of liberal America. No, nobody will support another Bush and if that's all the Republicans are offering then it's, hello Hilliary...

Yeah. Let’s let Time suggest who the leading non-Democrat candidate might be.
I detest Jeb Bush. He will lose badly if nominated. You can’t out-liberal a real liberal. They are simply better at being a liberal than a liberal who fakes trying to be a conservative.

He’s done the work, been a governor—a very fine governor, I might add
Terry Schaivo would disagree.
