FL-Sen: Jeb Bush Begging off a Run?

Brothers and sisters, let us pray:

Republican excitement over the prospect of Jeb Bush running for U.S. Senate has given way to increasing speculation that the former governor will stay out of the race.

Bush declined to comment for this article but was expected to make an announcement perhaps as early as this week. Even with his father on national TV Sunday touting Bush as a terrific potential future senator or president, friends say family considerations could outweigh the pull of public service.

Among other things, the article suggests that Bush might be reluctant to run because it would hurt his consulting business (which I can only assume has been quite lucrative). Please, Jeb, think of your bank account!

  1. The Bush family has done enough damage to last a millenium, please, no more.  I beg for mercy.

  2. it suggests that he may be running for President in 2012.  If Clinton was President, Bush would stay out because Daddy Bush and Bill Clinton are close.  But all bets are off against President Obama.
