The EneMedia choosing the GOP’s candidates again. How surprising.

The Democrat candidate will be decided before the first primary and will be generally known to Democrat voters. I noticed that among my many acquaintances in Gainesville which is a bastion of Academism and leftism. Everyone assumed that Obama would get the nomination before his name was more than an also-running in the press. Given that, the Democrats will once again flood the Republican Primaries and decide some of them. They will go for Bush. That and the heavy advantage he will have in money and Rove help in trashing shining conservatives as they rise from the pack will give him the nomination. Then he will run a lackadaisical and unconvincing campaign as the two previous Bushes did.

Bush 1 convinced me well before election day that he did not want the job. I kept thinking he was waiting for the right moment to unload all the material he had and actually attack. That moment never came. He was elected because the voters saw Reagan when they regarded him. In 4 years he convinced the voters that he was not Reagan. Bush 2 also did not seem to be trying very hard. He didn't actually throw the election in the manner of Dole and McCain because, well his daddy had done it and he felt he had to accept the job if it got thrust into his hands. He didn't run as if he actually wanted to win the second time, either.

Picking sure losers. It suggests the Republican establishment is now feeding their story line to CNN. Are Republican elitists stupid or consciously in bed with liberal media?

The democrats are picking Jeb Bush because they know he is a crook. They have all the dirt they need and Jeb Bush is dirty.
