as Nikki Finke would say "TOLD YA SO"... Jeb Bush mulling presidential bid

[graham4anything]

49. the funny part is, he is the one candidate who also can unite our party who hates the Bush's

remember, the idiot this time ran hoping dems would like his fake hair and smile

Jeb is liked by the right, but the Bush's are hated by the democrats (and this is another right/left divide. The Bush's are not hated by the right even though some on the left think so.

So it would truly be a battle of titans with Hillary against Jeb.

And we must remember what the Bush's did to Dukakis. They would do the same to another person from Mass.

It takes a Clinton to beat a Bush.

and those that think a way left person would beat a Bush, must not have been around when Dukakis ran. They made mincemeat out of a really outstanding person, one with convictions, with feeling, and from the left. Also an outsider to the system. Who had some really great ideas too. Now he is basically forgotten and/or ignored.
What is a shame is, his voice would have been nice to have in Mass after that to this day.
(and no, he was not the candidate in that primary I wanted, but I fully supported him once he received the nomination. (I wanted Rev. Jackson and Bruce Babbitt, another great man the repubs ruined). If one remembers, that year, Gore was running from the right of the party, and in a major irony, Gore was the one that in the primaries, gave the situation of Willie Horton to the public, though not mentioning his name.
And 1988 was really the prime year of Lee Atwater, who begot Karl Rove.

It would have been interesting (esp. as Dukakis got creamed), if he had picked Jesse Jackson as his VP, as Jesse did finish 2nd. It would have been nice to see how many more votes they could have gotten.
