Do you think Jeb would run?
If Palin runs,do you think Rove and his big money would run Jeb against her in the primary? I say he does. On Matthews this morning they talked about how deep Roves pockets are. I just do not think that the regular Repubs would stand for her to run unchallenged and right now there is no one out there that could challenge her,

1. He might be inclined to run whether Palin was in the
picture or not.

I doubt if Jeb's people consider Palin much more than an inconvenience.

2. I think the name "Bush" has been forever vanquished from
the presidency.

17. That's the reality: "Bush" is a dirty word & his brother was/is an embarrassment.
But Poppy wants Jeb to have his turn, & since I believe the Bushes are, at the very least, closely tied to the powers-that-be, I wouldn't be surprised if Jeb ran. It could explain all of the widespread projection going on, with Obama being accused of W's failings, which, until the possibility of a Jeb run is mentioned, never makes sense.

Even so, Jeb wouldn't have a chance in hell. Yesterday's rally showed loud & clear that sanity is on our side.

3. Well...
I think that Karl and his gang of crooks have a lot of info on her they could use "if" she did try and run. Sure her loyal brain dead base wouldn't care, but others would. Between now and time to run for the primaries, I see Palin getting more and more of the mainstream republicans pissed off at her. Karl is not going to let her take over "his" party, it just won't happen. Palin will continue to make millions off of those who are dumb enough to "think" she is qualified to become president, but I think Rove has enough on her to stop her from taking over his party. Rove plays dirty, and Palin is already making him mad, so let the war within their party begin! :evilgrin:

4. Yes and I think it is currently in the works and very likely to happen.
Only a matter of time. I also think Rove is involved.

5. Yes. Furthermore, the next generation of Bushies are being prepped to run for office also.
After all, the Bushies cannot stand not having anyone in power for long. Why, they'd even stomach soliciting funds for certain charities to soften America towards W.'s kin. The "racket", at all costs, must be continued.

7. Jeb won't run until 2016
He's not going to run against Obama and lose.

11. Interesting point.
He'll be 63 in 2016, and could certainly run then. That might be more likely if he is more interested in one term, and handing power over to his VP. He could even remain in office a second term, with a strong VP running things. I tend to agree with his most likely waiting until 2016.

8. There is a good possiblity if Jeb agreed to run, Palin would not
run, instead she would keep her role as "king-maker"
Jeb is seen among Republicans as a more authentic Conservative
than GW. Unless something weird has happened, he is as
beloved on the Right as Palin.

9. We need a constitutional amendment
to forever bar anyone in that family from holding public office.

I'm being facetious, mostly.

10. Why shouldn't he run?
He's every bit as qualified as his brother. ( sorry, but I can't seem to find that little sarcasm thingy.)

12. Please please explain to me how Rove's organizaTOON
could be tax free and yet they donate to politicans, mainly republicans. How can a political organization be tax free. If that was so then we could all start organizations let them be tax free and donate some and use the rest for our selves. Oh didn't O'Donnell do that. Well she got away with it.

15. No, they now want to use surrogates so they cant be directly blamed
Thats why they are working behind the scene to get Rubio elected in Florida.

If he wins they plan on running him in 2012 (or 2016 if Obama looks unbeatable).

16. Well, he is supposedly the "Smart" one of the Bush Boys
My question is: if you have an IQ of 20 and your "Smarter" brother has an IQ of 40, isn't he just smarter than you?:evilgrin:

19. Well, I Live In Florida... And He DIDN'T Run For The Senate... I Almost
have NO DOUBT he'll run! There's a lot more evidence to my thinking, but I'm tired of posting is.

One humongous reason many Dems are voting for Crist! It's almost too much to take in the state anymore!

So, yes my money IS on Jebby and BFEE!
