Bush wants his other son to have a turn with the toys too.
He ALWAYS wanted Jeb to be the one to become President. Jeb was the non-fuckup.
As the article mentions, Jeb wants to run for Senate, and he could very well succeed -- he was a popular governor, and Florida's one of the few states where his name WON'T hurt his chances.
As for the Presidency? Voters have short memories, but I think it'll be a LONG time before the stench of failure comes off the Bush name.
Would it be worth another 4 years of that shit just to be able to look back and say "Yes, they were all shit"?
The problem is that everyone looks better when compared to W. I mean, seriously, I have a WHOLE lot more appreciation for HW now than I did a decade ago. There's a lot to hate about him, but he wasn't a moron, he understood the importance of diplomacy and moderation, and he didn't follow Saddam back into Iraq. He's still the second-best President of my lifetime. (For another few weeks.)
