Jeb Bush in 2008?

Posted by on May 14 at 11:44 AM

There’s already a “Draft Jeb Bush” website—www.draftjeb.org. Say it ain’t so!

I saw this idea being pushed online earlier this week, notably in "Top Stories" in Yahoo News. Jeb, of course, is reportedly saying he's not running, while murmering "aw, shucks," and tugging his forelock over a bashfull grin.

Call me a cynic, but this looks like the first push to create a 'popular groundswell' to continue the Bush dynasty's rule. It's more important than every to ITMFsA!

edit - ever. Sorry

Of COURSE he'll run. This should come as a surprise to no one. It is as inevitable as the sunrise. Barring a miracle reversal of his brother's current abysmal ratings, he'd lose, of course. But it would set him up for future runs in 2012 and beyond. The Bush dynasty must continue... until we jail them all.

All depends on how many voting machine are fixed.

Let us not forget - five Republican appointees annoined the present excuse of a president, reaching in to tell Florida what to do.

Than scene, coupled with the fix, could preclude any Democrat winning the presidency for many decades.

I'd LOVE to see a Jeb Bush run.

He's from Florida; of COURSE he's got dozens of skeletons in his closet. You would have a field day asking him just about his ties to the sugar "industry", i.e., one guy who owns the whole thing and the Florida legislature besides. And there's the matter of his brother.

Jeb would probably set a new low percentagewise. He couldn't even take Florida today.

You saw that this was actually an anti-jeb bush page, right? Kudos to whoever had the foresight to snap up that particular url.

Uh... yeah. I saw. I just didn't want to give away the gag. The folks who were smart enough to grab that URL deserve to get the laughs, don't you think?

Hey, thanks much for the good word! We also got http://www.Rumsfeld.org too... ;)

cheers

Hey we should turn this from satire to reality. With George at 29% I don't think there could be more of a political godsend then another Bush running for office. We should fundraise for this campaign just like Rupert Murdock is doing for Hillary Clinton.
