Looks like Jeb understands how to keep his future Presidential ambitions alive in the Tea party era.

He is wisely afraid of pulling a Nikki Haley. Back a loser and your political influence in the state gets diminished. Nikki can somewh at recover by being a goog Governor. Jeb holds no office to let him recover lost political capital.

too late; I already heard that he had ‘endorsed’ Romney. Typical RINO, though, they play according to what’s most expedient for themselves....so now he’s zipping it.

Says a lot about the shift in momentum that now Jeb is shutting up.

Go Newt!!

Jeb already bet on Romney and SC bit him in the behind.

Hailey is not the reason Jeb is holding back. He’s holding back because there might be a brokered GOP Convention. And who do u think the GOP establishment will run to if there is a brokered convention, Jeb Clampett Bush...thats who.

I’d be sure and scratch anyone he endorses off my list.

Too late!

By equivocating in his support of Myth, he looks just like Myth.

Another "finger-in-the-wind" RINO!

Which, BTW, any thinking conservative already knew about Jeb.

Well, Jeb’s presidential ambitions need to die one way or another.

This *is* news. A Romney endorsement would be expected. Smart move by Jeb.

I think this is important. If Jeb stays out of the fray, then it helps Newt. If Jeb were to endorse Newt, then Jeb would only help Newt. Jeb Bush, for all the faults of his family, did govern pretty much as a conservative in Florida. The Terry Schiavo case was a bit of a blemish on his record. He was fearful of acting against the orders of a judge. It would have been an interesting war if he had done so.

If Jeb endorses Romney then that will not be surprising, but he’ll wait to see how the polls look the last few days and which way the momentum is going.
