Damn! Is there no end to this saga!
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — the younger brother of the president — is weighing a run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican Mel Martinez.
A source close to Bush said he’ll be thoughtful and methodical about the decision-making process. He will consider the impact a race would have on his family and his business and whether or not the U.S. Senate is the best forum from which to continue his advocacy for issues such as education, immigration and GOP solutions to health care reform.
In an interview with Politico immediately after November’s election, the former governor said the Republican Party should take four primary steps to regain favor with voters:
• Show no tolerance for corruption.
• Practice what it preaches about limiting the scope of government (“There should not be such a thing as a Big Government Republican.”).
• Stand for working families and small business.
• Embrace reform.
Bush said conservatives should “do the math of the new demographics of the United States,” explaining that the Republican Party “can’t be anti-Hispanic, anti-young person — anti many things — and be surprised when we don’t win elections.”
Is it too soon for another Bush? Will the smell of brother GW soil his attempt?
Hi there, Chuq! Been away from my computer, and probably will continue to be for most of this week.
Oh please, NO MORE BUSHES in Washington! This guy says he embraces working families and reform? Somehow I highly doubt that.
Hiya Girl–I was wondering where you had gotten to…..actually this Bush is by far the more intelligent one of the family…But his last name may be a hindrance for the near future. He is a Repub and that means a friend to the bailout boyz, hey a name of a rock group? LOL….Coffee time….good luck with the deadline thingy…..
Yep, when I’m actually “working,” it’s almost always in an art studio with no computer access. Holiday arts and crafts fairs are coming up, and I’m hoping to make some money this month…!#$%!
“Bailout Boyz” — great boy-band name! Jeb IS the smart one, true. I bet he’s got his eyes on the presidency in 2012 or ’16…
(When I’m on my computer a lot, that means that I’ve got no real work or custom orders to fill, and/or that I’m sifting through job listings and e-mailing my resume out…!!!)
Good luck with the money thingy…and yes I would say that 2016 would be more accurate…it depends on how Obama handles things in his first 4 years.
