Political Cortex: Brain Food for the Body Politic

For those of you who loathe the current Bush Administration, there is something lurking in the political shadows likely to send shivers down your spines...

...a third Bush in the White House:

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush "has what every potential Republican candidate covets: national name recognition, access to his family's powerful fundraising machinery and...a sterling reputation among the core of the GOP base. One recent poll reported his approval rating across Florida at 63% -- a strong position in what is the nation's most populous battleground state."

Potential White House Candidates and strategists "are eyeing his value as a running mate, particularly for candidates such as McCain, former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who are viewed warily by coveted evangelical voters."

Surely, Jeb is infinitely more qualified for the job than brother George (Ideology notwithstanding). He would be guaranteed Florida's electoral votes, and he would add conservative appeal to otherwise perceived moderate GOP presidential candidates.
