Jeb Bush is the Smart One, if Cowardly
Jeb Bush is going to bypass the chance to be Senator from Florida? Sure, that opens up the race to what we can hope will be a gain for the Democrats, but I’d like to have seen us thrash a Bush in 2010, so I am mourning his choice. Is he a coward? No, I suspect he is merely the far smarter brother, even if he is still carries the Republican taint.

Are they REALLY that stupid that they would put this POS in as Senator?

2. They are stupid
Tremendously so. But even they would not be so stupid. A credit to Jeb that he recognizes that.

3. I wouldn't be surprised to hear
that Jeb had changed his last name, seeing as how thoroughly his stupid brother has dragged it through the mud.

4. He won't change it
He will merely disappear for four or six years.

5. Yes we are.
Not me. The rest of them.

We've probably got the least effective Democratic Party in the country. Hell, Karen Thurman, the Party Chair even said at a dinner last year that Gov. Charlie Crist is a good Democrat (he's a repuke), and deserves our support. And as much as I dislike Crist, he probably is better than the shithead Dem that we ran for Gov.

Jeb is the smarter Bush, and the most dangerous of the bunch. He is a pure, right wing extremist. Never underestimate that piece of shit.

6. Jeb is a card-carrying member of the PNAC, along with cheney*.
he's Poppy's favorite, and by far the most dangerous. I guarantee you he's being prepared* for a 2012 run.
-----------
*Prepared = Records cleansed, enemies that can testify suicided, etc. The entire bushco* sanization treatment they gave dumbya before sElection 2000.

9. Yes, 2016 is probably more like it. More opportunity to re-write history.
We need to be be very wary, events will be coordinated to make a rethuglican in 2016 very palatable.

10. Florida is like Texas...
Florida is like Texas. The Democratic Party in both states always goes for who makes the better deal in the backroom. And if Jeb runs again in Florida and makes the better deal, he will get elected again. Despite the financial disaster area he left behind the first time. In both states you have mindless voters who just vote for whoever the party tells them to vote for. And in both states, the Democratic Party just sort of ignores the Democrat when they want the Republican to win. Which is how all of us ended up with John Cornyn again.
