Jeb Bush is casting a shadow over the entire field of potential Republican presidential candidates, as the former Florida governor continues to ponder a run in 2016 and keep his political options open.

On one hand, the Bush name, a network of donors and his relatively conservative record as governor make Mr. Bush a force to be reckoned with.

But the Bush name also could work against him. Even his mother waffled on whether the country is ready for another member of her family to run for the White House.

Rand Paul, Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal, Nikki Taylor, Susanna Martinez, John Kasich, Ted Cruz, naaaaaah, let’s choose another Bush. Why do we need all those others when what we really need is the ONE person who will allow the Democrats to use a “blame Bush for all the nation’s problems” strategies. I mean, its not like people were sick of the name Bush or anything. This is the guy, yes sireee Bob.

Sort of like 'attacking' Obamacare by nominating the guy who thought it up to run for President.

Exactly, leave it to the GOPe to push for the person who is ideally situated for the enemy.
