Are there only two families out of 300 million people capable of becoming President of the United States?

Looking at 2008's crop, it looks that way. I'd be a lot happier with Jeb than with any of the others.

No more Bushes or Clintons in the White House. Ever. Put it in the Constitution.

The most intriguing possibility came from NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd: “on the Republican side, I think there’s a 5% chance that the Republican nominee is not in the race. I think it’s that messed up. Obviously that’s a crazy thing to say, but that’s how uncertain this field is. I don’t think the establishment part of the party is ready to rally around Huckabee. I just don’t.”

Todd didn’t offer any inkling as to who that 1-in-20 candidate might be. But whereas not long ago the conventional wisdom was that Iraq would doom the GOP, wouldn’t it be the ultimate irony if the Republican champion turned out to be . . . General David Petraeus?

UPDATE | 12-24 1:30 p.m. In subsequent correspondence with this NewsBuster, Todd suggested that Jeb Bush might just be that 1-in-20 shot for the Republicans while describing Petraeus as a “fascinating thought.”

If the Republican nomination becomes deadlocked, it won't be surprising to see Jeb Bush drafted as the GOP nominee for President. He is keeping his powder dry for now.

UH, NO!

We'll do just fine without another Bush.

WECOME TO FR. ENJOY YOUR STAY...TICK..TICK..TICK...
