Will there be a Bush-part 3 running in '08

[radfringe]

Jebbie is out of a job, his governorship over due to the 2-term limit

Given the track record of the bushes

Poppy voted out after 1 term

"W" took a whoopin' in this mid-term, and by the 31% approval according to Newsweek, he's also washed-up

It was mentioned in '04 a bit regarding Jebbie running in '08.

keep in mind '08 is two years away, after the '04 elections alot happened to sour people on "w" and the repubs - so there's alot that can happen between today and '08

given that - do you think Jebbie will even try for a run in '08? or will he wait until '12? and thinking of possible events that may change people's minds - what would his chances be to get the nomination?

1. I don't think he will run

Maybe he will get the Vice Presidential nod, but that is about it.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

2. yes, it's calling itself giuliani

and, contrary to conventional wisdom, the rightwing base will support it giddily

[Renew Deal]

3. No, he'll run after Hillary gets 2 terms.

Then he'll get 2. Then Chelsea Clinton.

[Submariner]

4. Cruella Harris will probably hit him with a bus, "accidentally" of course

I don't believe the voters EVER want to see another Bush from that defective gene pool in the Oval office imho.

8. I am not that optimistic

The voters were dumb enough to fall for Bush's values garbage and the Swift Boat Assholes for Bush and the conservative media crap about Kerry "looking French" or engaging in windsurfing. Whether or not Kerry was born into a privileged family, we know damn well Bush was born with a silver spoon up his nose.

If Jeb puts on an "aw, shucks" demeanor, I fear that voters will fall for it AGAIN.

12. The Voters Didn't Fall For It. We Got Robbed

Gore got more votes in 2000. It was only the Bush family's control of Florida and its elections that allowed Bush** to "win".

If we believe the exit polls before they were "updated", Kerry should have won the 2004 election.

The voters never fell for Bush**.

5. I seem to remember

that he definitively ruled it out in a recent interview. Of course, those things could always change, but that seems to be strong evidence that he won't run.

6. he'll probably orchestrate some sort of draft movement

[JeffR]

7. Don't forget Marvin

The Bush family secret weapon.

9. GW has F'd over Jeb more than once.

I've read in more than one place that Jeb confided to GW that he was considering a running for Gov then Pres and then out of the clear blue sky suddenly GW is all up involved in politicing with Mom and Dad firmly behind him.

There's also a lot of scuttlebutt about younger days when Jeb several times voiced a desire to do something and then suddenly GW jumped out first and did it (making Jeb look like the "copycat") -- that sibling rivalry thing in the Bush household was appearantly brutal.

10. Not if the way he was mobbed in the street the other day is any

indication. The impression I had was they were ready to stone him.

11. Yes...

there is NO doubt in my mind...NONE, nada, zip...and the one in the WH is already touting that it's Jeb's turn...yes, yes, yes...so don't be surprised one bit when it happens...who else do they have...McCain???? what a joke...he loses it before he even starts...Frist...I think not...Allen..LOL...hah...Romney??? uh uh...I think he will be discarded...
