Grandson of one President – and nephew of another – signals that he is ready to run for political office


Republicans pin their hopes on a third George Bush

It has been less than a month since Mitt Romney was forced to abandon his 1,118-word victory speech, but already the Grand Old Party has begun the search for its great new hope, with many Republican heads turning in the direction of Texas and the name Bush... George Bush.

This isn't a flashback. Nephew and grandson of ex-Presidents George W and George H W respectively, the young GOP dynast in question is George P Bush, the son of former Florida Governor (and potential presidential runner) Jeb Bush.

Even as talk turns to his father's ambitions for 2016, 36-year old George's decision to file preliminary paperwork to run for office in Texas in 2014 has whetted the appetite of more than a few Republican strategists. The Lone Star State was, after all, his uncle George W's springboard to the White House.

As if this pedigree wasn't enough, the P in his name is for Prescott, as in Senator Prescott Sheldon Bush, the first President Bush's father. George the youngest is also half Hispanic. His mother, and Jeb Bush's ex-wife, Columba Garnica Gallo, is a naturalised citizen originally from Mexico.

1. he will be the 5th Bush, not the 3rd. Prescott, W, Jeb(the repub nominee in 2016) then P

it takes a Clinton to defeat a Bush.

Hillary v. Jeb

Chelsea taking down P later on

2. Vote for a Bush -- kill your job. nt

3. Jeb Bush's ex-wife?

Did they get divorced?

[RockaFowler]

11. Yeah - when did that happen??

[OhZone]

4. I think the chances of another George Bush getting elected are just slightly better than -

a second Hoover getting elected.

5. Meet the new BFEE. Same as the old BFEE.

[quinnox]

6. I'm already starting to hate this guy

The little weasel. The Bush family should leave America alone. They have done more than enough damage.

7. Bush should be a name like King John in England

800 years without another king named John is a precedent for the name Bush.

8. Because the first two George Bushes were so awesome!

[lbrtbell]

9. Republicans are disgusting

Their "token" black Herman Cain failed, so now they think a "token" Hispanic will succeed.

They're focused on skin color, because they won't admit it's their ruinous POLICIES that people are voting against, NOT the fact that Obama is part African-American.

Disgusting GOP pigs!!

10. NEVER LET ANOTHER BEWSH INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. EVER.

My GOD, do they really think Americans are THIS damned stupid?

I probably don't want to hear the answer.

12. once bitten twice shy??????????????

[teamster633]

13. Twice bitten,

[LeftishBrit]

14. The last King George III didn't do such a good job!

[rock]

15. Maybe shit will taste better the third time around!
