[SIZE=+1][SIZE=+1] Another Clinton-Bush Contest Possible
Link
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
When Bill Clinton rolled through Florida while campaigning for Obama, he speculated about Jeb Bush's
intentions with Ana Navarro, a Republican strategist and friend of Mr. Bush. It was no idle topic for Clinton,
given the possibility that Hillary could seek the Democratic nomination.
When Teabagger-fave Marco Rubio held a strategy session here to discuss his own political future last week,
the Jeb question hung over the room; a decision by Jeb, 59, to seek the Republican nomination would almost
certainly halt any plans by Mister Teabagger, 41, to do so or abruptly set off a new intraparty feud.
Mr. Bush is said to be weighing financial and family considerations -- between so many years in office and
the recession his brother caused, Jeb's wealth took a dip, they said, and he has been working hard to restore it
-- as well as the complicated place within the Republican Party of the Bush brand.
The GOP is in a pickle.
Do they go with the sane former governor with the super-tarnished name?
Do they go with the inexperienced Mister Teabagger, who would energize the base,
but then bring that same insanity that turned off so many voters this year?
