Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush won’t confirm he’s a candidate for the next presidential race, but he sounded like a White House hopeful Monday, declaring his party in need of leadership.
“I have a voice, I want to share my beliefs about how the conservative movement and the Republican party can regain its footing, because we’ve lost our way,” he told TODAY’s Matt Lauer.
Bush said he wouldn’t rule out a run in 2016, “but I won’t declare today either.”
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

Let me guess. Time to dust off the "New Tone" to get the party popular again?
I don't give a rats ass what this Progressive loser has to say about squat. The great news is that there is no way in hell he will ever see the inside of the Oval Office thanks to his brother who is persona non grata in the party. No one will ever vote for another Bush again for even dog catcher.

Do you have any idea how brain-dead the above statement is?
Can anyone show me where anyone other than you and Karl Rove want this guy elected anywhere? Despite conventional wisdom, I don't think he can even win a Senate seat in FL. Hell, exit polls showed the voting public overwhelmingly still blame GWB for out economic ills. That is poison.

Aw hell, with open primaries, all the big $$$ lined up, and the rest of the usual flim-flaming, there is a real strong chance that this guy is the 2016 GOP nominee.

A couple of things...first there are still several years of the Obama economy to go before another GOP presidential nomination, which make this polling information obsolete. Second, I don't think the former Governor of Florida can be held responsible for actions (or in-actions) taken a decade ago by his brother. The Democrats will fully own the economy by 2016.
Zitat3. People who say they won't vote for him because of his last name have a screw loose.
Why?
Bush I repudiated the Reagan years with his "kindler, gentler" mush. And Bush II was actually LBJ reincarnated.
It's not a stretch to say one's values and character are molded by his familial influence. So - are you saying we should expected something different with a Bush III?
