Pubs rumored to put Jeb Bush & Condi Rice to run forPrez
in 2012! Just heard this fro a caller on Thom Hartmann Show. Lady said she works for a co. that has been polling on this for several weeks already. She was in Charlottsvill and didn't say the polling was local or national. Thom said he owuldn't be at all surprised!

God bless us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

16. Yea sure. The other Junior wanted to keep a mush brain dead
alive because of his religous beliefs and Condi as a head of a security organization who couldn't have forseen planes being used as weapons agains the towers and the Pentagon (even though the daily memo stated somethng was going on and every military fiction writer worth their salt talked about it).

Real fucking geniuses. Good luck with that train of thought!

2. My conservative friend at work will be really disappointed.
He wants a Christie-Ryan ticket.

Yikes.

30. I hear that one a lot too among those who even know who they are...but...
I hear it the other way around, too. Ryan has a lot of support from some older republicans who see him as some kind of savior.

6. I fully expect the jebster to be the candidate.
Edited on Wed Oct-20-10 02:05 PM by xxqqqzme
I know he said he has no intention of running but he IS a b*sh so he was lying.

Wonder who is bankrolling the poll?

7. Given whom the other choices are, this may be the best they have.
Both are more qualified than Palin (not that it is a hard-to-reach criteria, of course.

8. It'll be "empty suit" Bob McDonnell and "aw shucks" Mike Huckabee
Palin will kill off more reasonable candidates (Romney, Pawlenty) before her campaign goes down in flames

15. Romney started Healthcare reform in MA long before
Obama was elected president. So he is a pioneer
in that field...I have to give him that. I am not
familiar with details of HCR in MA but my understanding
is it quite similar to HCR passed by congress.

9. Jeb Bush........maybe
Edited on Wed Oct-20-10 02:17 PM by Proud Liberal Dem
Would Condi be able to win the support of teabaggers? Not that I'm saying that they're racist or anything. :eyes:

The Today Show was pimping hard today for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. What's with all of the corporate media fawning over him and O'Donnell? All they did was win off-year gubernatorial elections in states that had long periods of time with Democratic governors last year. :shrug:

17. Take it to the bank. It will be their ticket.
I have said this since the end of 2008 here at the DU.

Jeb Bush will be the Republican nominee.

And, Condi is a long-time Bush family insider going back to GH Bush.

I would put money on this at Vegas.

26. It's nice to look on the "bright side" like you always do. It must be
wonderful to have such a positive attitude all the time. You will live long and have a life filled with rainbows that will always sustain you. Good on You. I'm not snarking you, btw..just in awe of your perfection.

39. The reason for my comment was that Biden knows so much about foreign policy,
including what went on when Rice was ignoring PDBs, lying about WMD, etc. And he would be very able to destroy her credibility. I'll remember how "in awe of" my "perfection" you are in any future posts you may address to me.

Condi is no Palin.

40. Yes, but the bar will be set much higher for Rice, and Biden can "remind" people about
the "good ol' days" when she was busy ignoring PDBs and lying about WMD.

22. Jeb Bush Is The Only Republican Who Can Unite The Various Factions
Edited on Wed Oct-20-10 07:51 PM by DemocratSinceBirth
And his and his brother's refusal to play the Hispanic bashing card gives him entree into a constituency the Democrats can not win without. Throw in the fact that Jeb has a Colombian wife and can speak idiomatic Spanish he's a formidable candidate.

Lord help us.

37. Exactly... I can say he is likely to have either the P or VP spot
I think he runs as VP in a losing effort with a troll at the top of the ticket and comes back for his shot in 2016.

She mentioned Jeb Bush and Haley Barbour as what she considered the grownups of the party.

44. Oh I wish these two get the nod is 2012
We'd have a fucking field day with these two.

Jeb - as if the Bush name alone isn't enough of a laugh.

Haley Barbour - Republican money launderer for 40 years.

And they want these two asshats as their "adults".

29. A great ticket for them - but would it pass the teabagger test?
These two look like flaming liberals in the Republican Party of today. I don't think (if the teabagger crap continues with grassroots support)they could get past whatever candidate the teabaggers grab on to. God, it's a weird world.

32. Are you kidding me?
I know the republicans (with the help of the White House) have been arguably successful in forgetting about bush's atrocities. But what better way to refresh their memories than by nominating his brother?

33. Not in 2012 .... they're not that stupid...
.... Jeb's smart enough to know, barring unforeseen circumstances which would need to BE seen w/in next four months in order for a campaign to start, no one's gonna beat Obama.

2016 on the other hand....

43. People need a reminder of the election process ...
they don't run as a team ... The presidential candidate runs, then picks a VP after getting the nomination ...

I agree that Condi won't run for president, but I think she would go for the VP slot in a heartbeat, and I can definitely see why the GOP would want her on the ticket ...
