Mitt Says Jeb Would Be Toast

[kpete]

According to Politico, individuals close to Mitt Romney say he’s become open again to the idea of running for president in recent days. The reason, they say, is that he sees a weak GOP field. In particular, Romney reportedly thinks Jeb Bush would get wrecked by his business dealings with Lehman Brothers, Barclays, and private-equity firms. Romney has reportedly talked to casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who pumped tens of millions into Newt Gingrich’s campaign against Romney in 2012. According to one executive who met with Romney, “He does not think much of the current field and does not think it is jelling. He still views himself as the leader of the establishment wing of the Republican Party. He does not feel he owes the Bushes anything and does not think Jeb is the de facto leader of the establishment GOP.”

7. Mitt is right

There won't be another Bush in the white house. Dubya poisoned the name then burned it to the ground.

Jeb will run in the primaries, and he will be one of the "circus" candidates. it will come down tight between him and Romney, but Romney will get the nomination.

Why? Bush has negative name recognition, and to the Republican mindset, Romney has already proven he can win (they figure that a "white guilt" vote carried Obama - so against a white candidate, Romney is seen as a shoo-in)
