For those out there loving the current Republican race but worrying that it has become somewhat orthodox in appearance and stable in candidates and support numbers, fear not: ABC News’ Jonathan Karl has the blind item for you. In the most mysterious and, for the GOP, worrisome dispatch on the Republican field in a while, Karl reports that a “prominent Republican senator” told him that the Party will not stand for a Mitt Romney loss in Michigan, and that he expects a result like that to lead the Senator to “publicly call for the party to find a new candidate,” likely former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.

Thank God there is no Bob Dole Jr.
Doing what the Republicans do best- snatching defeat from the jaws of victory! Ready-Fire-Aim!
Jeb might be just fine, but it would be a dream ticket for Obama.
Meghan McCain will be the next POTUS.
Clarify please.
Thanks, that helps me disbelieve this report.
...and John McCain.
That's "Stay out da Bushes!"
RINO STAMPEDE!!!
Correct. I believe I've seen the wheelchair in other contexts as well, within the last year or so. Not sure why, specifically.
That last sentence is a joke, right ? So far you think that the GOP establishment has been showing what kind of judgement ?
“This coward needs to show himself.”
He can’t. He knows that if he did he wouldn’t win his next primary.
Stay out da Bushes
There, I fixed it for you.
Whatever the question is after the MI primary, another Bush is not the answer. With some 300,000,000 people in this nation, surely we don’t need another Bush or Clinton or Kennedy...ever.
No Romney.
No Santorum.
No Bush.
** President Newt Gingrich-”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”
But Donald Trump said he would run IF Romney loses Michigan and I have a bad feeling Mitt will win.
Who among us did not see in Jeb Bush’s statement that he is showing leg for the convention if necessary? You are right.
Personally, these candidates may have been, and may be now s.o.b.’s, in some form or fashion, but they are OUR s.o.b.’s.
For some pol who thinks he’s a prima dona and can just sweep in and do a number on the primary process I think not.
Where the heck were THEY when the flag was raised to begin this annihilating pathway to the nomination?
Where were THEY when the people cried out???
I will tell you where they were. THEY were ensconced in regret, plenty of income, whatever the source, contemplation and mostly supreme cowardice, topped off with bad polling numbers, and bent on avoiding getting any crushed glass under their finger nails, which is a certainty in a primary!
As Pacino said, it was gonna be “TOO DAMNED HARD”.
THEY would dare to sweep in with grins and high rhetoric and show leg, NOW?
These guys of ours, and WE THE PEOPLE, have been fighting off, tooth and nail, against the RINO Establishment and holding ground, holding off another RINO jerk, and these opportunist players would dare to THINK they can just walk in and execute those who stepped across the start line willing to sacrifice ALL, and from the beginning?
I don’t think so.
THEY can go blow all the smoke and pontificate all they want, but NO BODY gets to kill the troops now running just so THEY can take the battle and dance on their graves.
Who would do that? Who COULD do that? Talk about the pinnacle of sabotage.
WHO WOULD WE BE TO ALLOW IT? Sheesh.
Woe is them!
They would be better off with Ubama as President than a conservative.
Until the liberal RINOs are defeated, there will be no defeating the socialist Democrats. Right now the enemy to conservatism is the establishment GOP.
