Actually, I don't think he will, but it makes me wonder what he WILL do . . . . .

3. I think any *Bush will understand
how prominent the target is on their back. If they have any sense, they'll lay low for two generations.

4. Nope. Bush fatigue is real. The Thugs will nominate Hagel.
Hagel wins neighboring Iowa and after that a ways New Hampshire.

5. I think it's going to be Hagel, too. Plus, he is "involved" with the
ES&S voting machines, which will make it easy for him to steal election #3 for the repukes.

6. Hi, femmocrat. Yep. Hagel's got the creds in Iowa because he's a
Nebraskan "moderate" conservative military guy, and somehow he has some of the maverick thing going that McCain used in New Hampshire in 2000.

If Hagel wins in Iowa and New Hampshire, it's all over for McCain and Giuliani. One of whoever's left will challenge Hagel from the Right -- Frist or Brownback maybe -- but the mainstream Republicans in those big midwestern states will go for Hagel.

For his veep, Hagel will probably need to pick a very conservative running mate to try and appease the far right base.

7. A Recent Poll Said Jeb is the Only Republican We Can Beat
Whoever posted that poll on DU thought it was good news,
that some of our candidates at least polled ahead of Jeb Bush.

Unfortunately that poll also showed every other Repub contender
beating every Democratic contender by large margins.

8. Vice Prez at most.
which would allow him to either kill off the frontrunner or play the role of Dick Cheney as the real power behind the throne.

10. People have had enough, more than enough, of the Bushes
Politically, they've harmed America more than any one family in history.

12. Jeb will run, he will be the GOP candidate.
I've said this since 2000, and I fully expect Diebold to assure the (s)election of yet another dickhead.

13. If shrub got enough votes, I am afraid Jeb will get more because
he is married to a hispanic, he is a better speaker,
is taller, better looking and smarter than shrub.
I am hoping Bush fatigue will prevent him from WH.
