WASHINGTON — When Jeb Bush decides whether to run for president, there will be no family meeting à la Mitt Romney, no gathering at Walker’s Point in Kennebunkport to go over the pros and cons. “I don’t think it’ll be like a big internal straw poll,” said his son, Jeb Bush Jr.
But if there were, the results of the poll are pretty much in. As Mr. Bush nears a decision to become the third member of his storied family to seek the presidency, the extended Bush clan and its attendant network, albeit with one prominent exception, are largely rallying behind the prospect and pulling the old machine out of the closet.
“No question,” Jeb Jr. said in an interview, “people are getting fired up about it — donors and people who have been around the political process for a while, people he’s known in Tallahassee when he was governor. The family, we’re geared up either way.” Most important, he added, his mother, Columba, the prospective candidate’s politics-averse wife, has given her assent.

Mr amnesty and common core
No more Clintons

Good grief!
I am so sick of these dynasties.
No way jose...we don’t need another progressive bush...
A sure path to a third consecutive loss.
I hope he hires Rove. If he does I won’t worry about him winning.
““No question,” Jeb Jr. said in an interview, “people are getting fired up about it — donors and people who have been around the political process for a while, people he’s known in Tallahassee when he was governor.”
Sooooo....thats like how many? 10-12 ass kissers of his? Have they noticed that outside of their immediate circles, nobody wants him?
The phrase “greedy pigs” comes to mind.
Hugely expand the welfare state and fight a war with no plan to win it?
One further thought. The GOP will run liberal/moderate candidates and lots of them in an effort to water down the conservative candidate.
The Three Amnesty Amigos.
Give Jeb a chance, Terri Schiavo, did.
Isn’t Jeb the one with the hispanic wife and speaks fluent Spanish? Given the illegals that are voting, wouldn’t that tend to give him a lock on that large voting bloc (keeping in mind Laz’s essay on hispanic conservatism from the other day)?
