Cross Jeb Bush off the list for U.S. Senate

Just in case there any lingering speculation, Jeb Bush says he is not interested in a caretaker Senate seat.

"As Gov. Bush indicated earlier this year when he decided against a run for the U.S. Senate, now is not the right time for him to return to public office. In response to your question, Gov. Bush is not interested in serving out the remainder of Sen. Martinez’s term," says spokeswoman Kristy Campbell.
