On a trade mission in Germany this week, Gov. Jeb Bush again ruled out a run for president in 2008. But the president's younger brother told the weekly German magazine Focus that there's "a vague chance" he would run for the White House in 2012 or later.
"You should never say never. But for the 2008 election, my answer is definitely no," Bush said. Asked whether a subsequent presidential candidacy was possible, Bush said, "Let's say there's a vague chance."
He has as much chance as Madonna does. Give it up, Jeb Bush, and go take care of your dysfunctional family and leave America's families alone. He is a megalomaniac to think he would get nominated. The rest of America is not as stupid as Florida.
Please spare us, Jeb. After years of mismanaged state government run by your political cronies and contracted out with no-bid to "caring corporations", the voters of Florida are finally tired of you. And thankfully, the American people are sick of the Bush dynasty.

Ironic that "vague" also describes his chances of winning.

Jeb Bush is milkweed compared to W but they both have been outed this year for their corruption. I think the USA has had enough of the Shrub family.

Please...let at LEAST a generation go by without another Bush in office. Let us recover from this statewide and national nightmare.
