I haven't seen anything saying Jeb is unpopular across the US. Maybe not well known enough YET but that won't be a problem.

A trend I detect in many of the postings have given me cause for concern. Many are advocating Jeb's candidacy for '08 and then his son afterwards. Am I the only one that is detecting a semblence of potential monarchy here?

I would not vote for another Bush on principle alone for I do not believe that the presidency should become a family business passed down from one generation to the next.

With all respect to the Kennedy family, I'm glad that events intervened (not condoning assasinations) to stop their family's political stranglehold on the presidency. For the same reason I would shudder to think of Hillary's election followed by Chelsea.

Perhaps you are on to something there. Jeb being a popular governor of a southern state does seem to make him a natural though. (I don't know anything about Jeb's son at all.)

Maybe too many voters would be turned off by the monarchy factor. Perhaps the GOP should run someone else in 08 and keep Jeb in mind for a later election.

BTW - Realized my tag was messed up in my other posts... 2112?! DUH... Stayed up too late posting last night! Perhaps Rice in 2008 after all though.
