like father, like son?

1. My guess is no.

I don't think it would be offered to him in the first place. Or, if he were on the short list, I don't think he'd be willing to do it.

As always, whether or not he'd have a shot at the VP slot is utterly and completely dependent on who'd wind up at the top of the ticket, and right now, no matter how hard people here try to divine who that is going to be, we really haven't a clue.

5. Sometimes

when the Presidential nominee is deciding on his VP, he may reach out to more than one person to offer the job. Actually, I'm thinking it's done one offer at a time, and maybe I'm completely off on this, but I can see this happening with Jeb. However, I am NOT predicting that scenario, just saying I see it as a possibility.

2. If Jeb has performance isuues, no one will ask him to be a wingman

4. I don't see it

The Bush family is beyond arrogant. They don't play second fiddle to anyone. I think Poppy took the job when he did because he realized Reagan was a clown who could be controlled.
