Jeb Bush returning to the limelight

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

Jeb is finished

Maybe Jeb should change his last name to Reagan, lol. 

I think Jeb is far better a politician than Palin, Romney, Huckabee, etc.  I think he wants to run.  I don't know if he'll win, but I think he has a good chance.  Of course, he's now Catholic and that can lose him votes. 

But will the leadership pick Romney over Jeb, never.

In 2012, perhaps. However, if I were you, I wouldn't just assume that. I personally don't believe that Jeb will become president, particularly in 2012. However, weirder things have happened in politics before. And sad as it may be, one useful lesson from history is this: never underestimate a Bush.

LOL If his last name was Reagan, he actually probably would easily win the nomination.

I agree with this. Even though Bush Sr. lost his reelection bid in 1992 (and was unpopular until his final month or two), his son managed to win the GOP nomination and the Presidency just 8 years later.

With any other last name, he'd be a frontrunner for 2012 Republican nomination. But I can't feel to bad about him, because with any other last name, he'd never be elected Governor of Florida in the first place.

You mean, he wouldn't have won the governorship in his 2nd attempt?  He lost his first election for Florida Governor. 

But somehow, Dubya won his first election in TExas, so maybe he is the smarter brother.

Then Jeb must be REALLY stupid then...
