A close first cousin of Jeb Bush, John Ellis, is floating the idea on his blog of a Presidential run for Jeb in 2012, as an anti-Palin independent! Sad the elites see being pro-illegal immigration as the only path to the Mexican-American vote. And it sounds like a Bush run this time without putting on a show of conservatism.
It would be the Bush Family Hopes to Find a way to Nudge down the Deficit against the GOP/tea party coalition and the Obama Lefties. If it worked the downside/upside (depending on how you look at it) would be the almost certain end of the GOP. I suspect Palin will make this scenario increasingly unlikely by continuing to bring around independents and proving herself the great unvarnished solution to our debt-laden future.
