wacky. Both were controversial. That's what the Rs love...cocky, wacky bigmouths. Jeb doesn't qualify.

state, greased some palms, like most. I think it may either be Bush Fatigue or he's in it because the family thought it was his turn. Back in Ws time, it was common knowledge they would have rather run Jeb, but he was too young.

policy points, which the media defined as gaffs, I thought he just didn't understand what was told to him.

to put family on the backburner for a time. It costs a lot from the person and that's what donors have to figure out...and even that can change. Now they just want to know who's in it to win it, asses the odds, and throw the dice.
