Bush v. Palin 2012?

Washington Examiner ^ | 07/08/2010 | John Ellis

[Brices Crossroads]

This article was written by John Ellis, who is Jeb Bush's first cousin. He does not seem to favor Palin and his last sentence in which he suggests that her nomination would generate a third party and that "President Obama is not doomed" is a veiled threat that the Establishment may try, as they tired to do in 1980 with John Anderson, to split the anti-Obama vote and reelect him. But Ellis clearly recognizes that she IS the frontrunner and that, barring something completely unforeseen, she will be the GOP nominee in 2012.

Didn't work then. Even less likely to work now. If Jeb wants to take her on, then bring it on. Reagan beat Jeb's daddy. She can certainly put the wood to him if he is up for it.

The Bushes have helped to run the country into the ditch and gave us Obama and Clinton as their legacies. As Rocky told Clubber Lang, "Go for it."

Yeah, Jeb Bush first cousin is pumping him up through his blog!!! HAHAHA! What a tool!

Jed Smith would give Sarah Palin a run for her money.

Jeb Bush is not in the running, and he knows it.

He may wind up in President Palin’s cabinet however...

[Brices Crossroads]

Ping!

[GreenLanternCorps]

Jeb, not Jed, Duh!

[DJ Frisat]

No... more... Bushes.

I don’t care if it’s George Ronald Reagan Bush. NO MORE BUSHES!!!

[antonico]

NO MORE BUSHES! They are pseudo-Conservative political hacks and nothing more. All they wanna do is make deals with Democrats. Screw ‘em. And hopefully a real Conservative will lead us in 2012.

The Republicans aren’t going to be running against Barak Obama in 2012, they’re going to be running against Hillary Clinton. And either Jeb Bush or Sarah Palin would be a million times better than Obama or Clinton. Mitt Romney would only be a thousand times better than Obama or Clinton.

We will have had 12 years of Obama/Bush governance. Hopefully we’ll get a change.

[rfp1234]

Maybe the Spanish-speaking George P. Bush would do better...

Bush v. Palin 2012?

[bigbob]

By a different calculus, if Palin secures the support of those who declare themselves to be Conservative, she starts with 40% right there. And if (as I suspect it will) the “Mama Grizzly” strategy works, there will be a bunch of powerful women (and other candidates that she’s endorsed) who will be lining up to return the favor, if and when.

“The fact is that the Republican Party of 2012 is not going to nominate a Mormon as its standard bearer.”

He suggests Romney will not be successful because he is a Mormon. It is not hat the GOP is reluctant to nominate a Mormon. We are REFUSING to nominate THIS Mormon!!!!!

No more Romney. No More Bushes.

“if Palin secures the support of those who declare themselves to be Conservative, she starts with 40% right there.”

You are right. And that is why it will be so difficult to deny her the nomination. She will actually do better in open primary states because she is able to attract blue collar Dems and indies who never voted GOP before or who have not done so since Reagan.

At least he understands the Tea Party, which the GOP is still clueless about.

JUST SAY NO TO ALL BUSHS AND CLINTONS ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

[SharpRightTurn]

“Bush v. Palin 2012?”

I haven’t made up my mind about Palin, but if it were to be Palin v. Bush in 2012, I will be all in for Palin.

The thought of another Arbutso in the White House makes me want to throw up.

To quote the “Reverend” Jesse Jackson, “Get out the Bushes!”

[El Cid]

I know this is not a popular opinion - but I like the Bushes.
George the First and George the W.
Genial good folks. 1960s style Democrats.
Socialist-lite, but folks who love their Country and who were willing to fight against external enemies (against internal enemies ... not so much).
So - they are nice folks, and I'm not going to trash talk them ... But I will never vote for another one again (at least not to the 3rd and 4th generation).
We need some Conservatives to right this ship. Its been listing leftward too long, and is about read to capsize.

[Diogenesis]

The picture is not appropriate with Gov. Palin.

RINOs are the backstabber, poor sport Mitt Romney
and Jeb Bush.
