US right looks to Bush the younger

“If only his last name was Smith,” sighed Fred Barnes in The Weekly Standard, the right-wing political magazine. “He’d be the prohibitive frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008.”

That still leaves a vacancy for what for many Republicans would be a dream ticket: McCain-Bush in 2008, with Jeb Bush making up for McCain’s more prickly relationship with traditional conservatives.

The Family Research Council, an evangelical group, has invited Bush to a conference this autumn on “values voters”, code for God-fearing anti-gay-marriage and pro-family voters from Middle America who did so much to win the last election for George W.

“Jeb Bush would stand out as a candidate. He’s been fantastic for families in Florida,” said Tom McCluskey, the organisation’s spokesman. “Unfortunately, there is the curse of the family name. It’s unfortunate, but true: a substantial part of the population would automatically vote against him.”

But a recent poll by Fox News showed (Hillary Clinton) trouncing Jeb by 51% to 35% in any presidential match-up, suggesting that voters are more tired of his name than hers.

Hate to break it to you, Jeb, but your big brother has single-handedly, and for all time, gutted and bled out any chance for you to polish your presidential ambitions.

Be gone.
