People tend to underestimate Obama. I bet he has a satchel of photographs and reports that can be released to refresh everyone's memory of what Bush was up to.

When she starts talking about Jebby, it's like watching "Entertainment Weekly" outlining Justin Bieber's upcoming tour.

It's inevitable. On top that, there's always nostalgia for the past, and the past always gets painted in rosy colors.

However, I think that a Jeb candidacy will bring Bush disgust back.

People love the familiar.
They are more comfortable with it.
Jeb will run and he will be a formidable opponent.
Remember, he's the "smart" one!

...the freepers hated his ass.

They STILL call him "Juan McCain" over his "shamnesty" attempts in immigration.

But once it got down to it, when they knew they had NO other options, they started saying things like "The Straight Talk express is ROLLING!"

It was hilarious and tragic all at the same time...watching them muster false enthusiasm for a guy they loathed.




So the freepers, at least, will "pull a Romney" and once more get behind a guy they know is destined to fail, at least in 2016, if it comes down to that.

If the Democrats run a weak campaign, like Kerry did, it gives him a shot.
Especially, if it's close enough to fudge the numbers.
One would think the BUSH name has been forever soiled, but it's not.
