I thought Jeb would have thrown his hat in the ring by now.

[undeterred]

Not that I'm complaining.

1. I actually think the "Bush" word is still too toxic.

[MilesColtrane]

5. Yep, the Chimp crapped on the family brand with voters.

They'll have to go back to being unelected (appointed) insiders.

2. No, he and Chris Christie are going the frugal path to the Convention.

If either were nominated through a draft instead of spending time and money on the road and rubber chicken, it would suit them fine. Jeb isn't going to announce and put his financials up for scrutiny as well.

3. He would but...

....his family ate it.

[lame54]

4. His legal name change hasn't come through yet

[Drale]

6. He's much to busy being evil

You know eating puppies, punching babies, things like that.

[Ineeda]

7. He thinks 2016 will be a sure thing, IMO.

Chances are a rethug will have a better chance then and he'll be behind the scene until a just after the '12 election.

[John Paul Jones]

9. I believe the continuing bad economy may entice a few more to warm their toes....

If unemployment does not drop to at least 8%, historical references indicate that Obama will lose.

10. I agree with the 2016 vote

the name will have a new veneer by then and after our (floriduhs)venture with prickscott, he'll be able to point out his pluses

in reforming education and keeping taxes low.

Sadly, many will buy that line of shinola and give him the vote.

[Shagbark Hickory]

11. I think he could run as VP this year. Just like his pappy.

he doesn't want to fight a sure thing.

[customerserviceguy]

14. The GOP doesn't want him

The only people pushing him have been pundits like Chris Matthews, and since it's obvious that Jebby doesn't want to go for it this time around, Matthews et al. are now pushing for Huntsman, a person with even lower popularity in the Republicon party than Jebby.

He and all the other "serious" GOP candidates are waiting for 2016.
