I predict Jeb will jump in the race. The Repubs are VERY unhappy with their candidates, and I say
that Jeb will jump in and save the day for them.

Their main objection was that his name is Bush. I think they will weigh their options, and decide the Bush name can be overcome easier than their slate of losers that are now running.

1. Ain't gonna happen.
All candidates are distancing themselves from Bush. Why on earth would they want his brother to enter?

I just don't see it happening. JMO.

2. Well, great! The name Bush is mud in this country and if they want certain defeat
go ahead and nominate Jebbie.

4. I agree
If he's the nominee, it means a Dem will win for sure.

7. Consider it bookmarked
so we can all come back and have a good laugh at your expense.

I would say that Jeb Bush has about the same chance of being on the repub ticket in 2008 as Michael Moore.

26. I'll go you one better...
I would say that Jeb Bush has about the same chance of being on the Repub ticket in 2008 as George W. Bush had in 2000.

I remember when he "won" the Repub nomination, I thought "WHAAA...?!?!? They can't be serious?!?!?"

But that was before I knew the fix was in...

If Jeb runs, the fix is in...

9. Not a chance.
"I know you all hate the current Bush - but how about ANOTHER Bush to take his place?"

No way. Besides, I don't think Jeb would be the least bit interested.

10. No way. The only GOPers remotely likely to jump in at this point are Newt and Hagel--
unless they're both on the DC Madam's list. Hell, Newt would run even if he WAS.

12. Nah. He's already taken jobs with a couple corporate boards and ...
Edited on Wed Jul-18-07 04:25 PM by SteppingRazor
he's already directed all of his would-be fundraisers to the Mitt Romney camp.

Jeb's content to sit back on his laurels and collect the paychecks, maybe do a little light lobbying.

No one will ever know! :)

17. Bring him on
American patriots are seeing through the evil-doing cabal of republicon cronies.

I'd bet a sack of Krispy Kreme doughnuts they will vomit Jebbie out of the public arena so fast that republicon diapers will be soild across the fruited plain (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, Jeff Christie).

20. LOL! Telling ya, there's a reason he didn't run when we expected him to.
Cheney knows all about him, too--he has all of Hagel's deepest personal secrets on file from when he was being vetted by Cheney to be Bush's VP.

22. That would indeed be a fun one to watch...I hope he does!
When they open up his luggage, the folks will see a lot of dirty laundry.

Can't wait!

23. I think the BFE made a deal with McCain in 2004 that Jeb would stay out
It bought McCain's turn-around support.

I really don't think anyone named Bush would get elected in '08.

papa will never let another "bush" in the race right now . . .

he is young enough for 2012 . . . and 2016 if necessary

plus - he would be saddled with this Iraq debacle - and papa would never allow that . . . got to be handed to a Dem

25. I posted Monday that John Roberts will run for much the same reasons
and that Jeb would be his replacement as the CJ. But I do agree that the repubs seem to just going through the motions and they will have a surprise candidate at their convention in Aug 08.
