Jeb Bush tweets just now: He is actively exploring possibility of running for President.

News also predicting his VP choice will be Susana Martinez-New Mexico which garners the Latino vote.

Can't link this from my tablet..try it when I get home to my computer.

Of course Jeb is running & as been flying under the radar for quite while while his team has been carefully calculating every move to place him in this position.

However, a GOP nomination is still a battle even for Jeb.
News also saying America is too Bush weary.

Not sure where Martinez stands in regard to them, but Bush as a candidate will need to placate them without losing his attractiveness to the center, which means he will need somebody.
