1. The Alfalfa Club chose him as their "Presidential nominee" this year.

The Alfalfa Club is just a bunch of rich bastards who get together once a year to overeat and hear a few speeches. The President spoke at the event this year, and Jebbie was their "nominee." GHWB and Jebbie swung by the WH to have a little visit with BHO ahead of the event.

Procedurally, they could pull it off with a deadlocked convention, where no one gives in vote after vote after vote, but a couple of fatcats in smoke filled rooms persuade some delegates to bolt...and they start a stampede.

That all said, Jeb has indicated, repeatedly, that he has no desire for the job, that he is making money and enjoying that....who knows if he means it, though?
