Jeb Bush: I have no future.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061221/pl_nm/bush_jeb_dc_2

<<<<<<< MIAMI (Reuters) - The shadow of President Bush seemed to loom large over his younger brother on Wednesday, as the outgoing Florida governor ruled out any plans to return to elected office.

"No tengo futuro (I have no future)," Jeb Bush told Spanish-language reporters in Miami, when asked about any possible political ambitions after he steps down next month.

The popular, two-term governor has often been touted as a savvy politician with a good chance of following both his brother and father, George H.W. Bush, into the White House.

But the unpopularity and dismal job-approval ratings of his brother may have scuttled any plans Jeb Bush may have had for a future in politics after running one of America's most crucial swing states for the past eight years. >>>>>>>

5. No kidding, Republicans will revive any dead horse
Reagan, Nixon, the Bush clan... they yank laughing stocks out of the garbage can and put them in the White House with more regularity than a cable bill increase.

12. If they're smart, they'll pull up stakes
and decamp to Paraguay before the legal trouble Stupid will embroil them in really gets going. That surname in this country is not going to be the ticket to extreme fortune and adulation it once was.

Nixon did enough good that his family were able to live down the name.

I can't think of a single decent thing Stupid has done. Even belatedly awarding B.B. King a slightly inappropriate medal was tarnished by the character of the other honoree.

9. Prediction: Jeb will return from the wilderness at some point.
Edited on Thu Dec-21-06 01:06 PM by IMModerate
Republican talent is kind of thin. They have few prospects. Jeb will spend some time in private sector and then they'll coax him back. One of the effects of having short memories is that people forget how short their memories are.

17. I see that happening as well
If Giuliani or McCain lose in 2008, I see Jeb as a frontrunner in 2012.

14. Don't worry, Jebbie. You can always get a job at a used car lot...
sucking the farts out of used car seats. That's about the only job a Bush is suited for.

PEACE!

16. George H.W. was pretty low popularity-wise in 1992
and that didn't hurt * in 2000 or 2004. I mean, Poppy only got like 37% of the vote in 1992 as an incumbent!
