Jeb! and his circle, thinking there's a chance in hell the country would entertain the idea of a 3rd Bush presidency and forget what a steaming, putrid mess his brother made of things.

I think we're fooling ourselves into thinking he doesn't stand a chance because of GW. And they've gotten better at stealing elections.

I think it will come down to Bush v. Walker in the Primary, unless something explodes in the stalled & sputtering investigations into Walker's past.

I see the Jeb people are already out desensitizing the public to the Schiavo case, and the Walker gang is doing the same thing with respect to his lack of eddication.
