A 2012 repeat.  The most boring election ever.

There are a few problems with Jeb Bush that could potentially arise.

1). The most powerful tool Republicans have against Clinton is trying to make the election a referendum on Obama.  If they can tie Clinton to Obama and field a candidate better than Romney, they have a good shot at winning. 

The problem is that nominating a Bush creates another narrative.  Now we have another Clinton v. Bush race, and the media will definitely focus a lot on that aspect of the race.  Obama will obviously be a major talking point, but it'll be drowned out somewhat.

2.) His 'Mitt Romney' problem.  Jeb's image hasn't developed to the point where we can say if attacks related to his corporate ties will stick or not, but its definitely a potential vulnerability.  I am pretty sure that this will get dragged out in the primaries.
