Would the Bushes have been more completely finished off if Jeb lost in the general? By leaving so early, maybe the Bushes are still alive, like the bad guy in a movie.
Interesting point. You may be on to something.
The only Bush I am aware of who is trying to have a political career is George P., and I doubt he is going to excite anyone greatly in the future. He has already racked up negative press and his political career in Texas may end sooner than he thinks if he continues to annoy or underwhelm the folks in the Lone Star state.
