In all fairness to GW, I think that Jeb would have better as President than GW... Imho...

[RMDupree]

I'd vote for Jeb in an instant.

He's a terrific Governor!

[labette]

I had to swallow hard before voting for "Dad" in 88.

Jeb might find it is easier to run Washington than to run Florida.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

What we need is someone who went to both Harvard AND Yale, so the Left can't accuse him of being dumb. Oh, wait, nevermind...

[ARCADIA]

That would be a mistake. I can almost see a Constitutional amendment prohibiting consecutive candidates from the same immediate family.

[pissant]

Franks/Bush 2008!

[the_rightside]

Can he speak?

[JLS]

Yep, I am all for JEB in 08. You think the Dims would have backed off from JFK from 61-68, RFK from 69-76, EMK from 77 to 84 and then gone on to the next generation had thinks worked out for them.

did you read his lips ?

[SouthernFreebird]

That man let Terri starve to death, a President he ain't!

"I had to swallow hard before voting for "Dad" in 88."

In all honesty, so did I. '41 did not have Barbara for a mother :) Her kids had that advantage.

"I can almost see a Constitutional amendment prohibiting consecutive candidates from the same immediate family."

lol! Ya mean it wouldn't be fair?

[SamAdams76]

Imagine President Condi Rice sandwiched between 8 years of GWB and 8 years of Jeb. I don't dare imagine too loudly out of fear that all of Hollywood would faint and fall to the ground, triggering a massive earthquake.

[RMDupree]

Um...yes. Two languages, in fact.

[Paleo Conservative]

I'm sure if Jeb runs, we'll see more of these signs.

[sageb1]

"I don't dare imagine too loudly out of fear that all of Hollywood would faint and fall to the ground, triggering a massive earthquake."

You wouldn't need all of Hollywood for that to happen - just Michael Moore.

[oceanview]

he is smart not to run in 2008, the US will not elect another Bush on the heels of B43. we may need Jeb to unseat Hillary in 2012.

I really dont know if the country could survive any more compassionate conservatism from the bush family we already got a couple of trillion dollars in extra spending and about 5000 new laws on the books in order for the first couple of bushs to prove they were mighty good liberal democrats.If jeb gets in it would be a great time to short sell every stock in america and then put all the money into european real estate
