7. More than likely she changed her mind out of pressure

She is Jeb's mother after all. I think her original comment was an honest reaction to the prospect of her son putting himself through a campaign knowing full well that at least half of the country either out right hates or dislikes her other kid. Hell, she is after all her own person, maybe she disliked how the 2000s turned out and attributes some of that blame to George.

At the end of the day she is Jeb's mother and a mother is going to do whatever she can to help her child. She probably changed her opinion publicly for that reason and that reason alone.

Anyway, my opinion of Jeb has far less to do with his name and more about the current direction of the republican party. I'm less critical of George W than other democrats. Quite frankly, if I had to chose between the comb over and Jeb Bush, i'll vote for Jeb every day.

Self Edit: that isn't to say I intend to support or vote for any republican candidate. Something would seriously have to screw up in the democrat party for me to think that way and I'm more likely to stay home than vote for any of the riffraff on the right. Kasich doesn't make me want to vomit in my own mouth but he doesn't know when to shut up. He had democrats thinking he was the best of the lot until he made the union comments. Even if he doesn't believe them, its just bad pr.
