Jeb: I am considering Senate run

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — the younger brother of the president — is weighing a run for the Senate seat currently held by Republican Mel Martinez.

Martinez announced Tuesday that he will not seek reelection in 2010. Asked whether he was interested in running for the seat then, Bush told Politico by e-mail Tuesday night: “I am considering it.”

A source close to Bush said he'll be thoughtful and methodical about the decision-making process. He will consider the impact a race would have on his family and his business and whether or not the U.S. Senate is the best forum from which to continue his advocacy for issues such as education, immigration and GOP solutions to health care reform.

In an interview with Politico immediately after November’s election, the former governor said the Republican Party should take four primary steps to regain favor with voters: Show no tolerance for corruption, practice what it preaches about limiting the scope of government (“There should not be such a thing as a Big Government Republican”), stand for working families and small business, and embrace reform.

Bush said conservatives should “do the math of the new demographics of the United States,” explaining that the Republican Party “can’t be anti-Hispanic, anti-young person — anti many things — and be surprised when we don’t win elections.”

8. Sure, run for the Senate and then we'll bury you Bushes once and for all.

9. I'd support him for a Senate run.

He could run right off the visitors' balcony, and I'd cheer him all the way down.

10. Run, you SOB!

People just haven't had enough of the Bushes yet. Perhaps you will win in FL but damned if the rest of the nation has forgotten George W Bush.

11. Please go away.

I would be more than thrilled if I never had to hear the name 'Bush' again. Granted, Jeb seems to be more articulate than his idiot brother, but give us all a rest. Fade into obscurity. Please.

There must be something else he can do. Become a lobbyist or something.
