Jeb Bush poised for Florida Senate run

As Caroline Kennedy pursues her bright-lights, big-city bid for the U.S. Senate, another child of dynasty is quietly testing the waters for his own Senate run.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — the son of one president and the brother of another — has been working the phones since Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) announced earlier this month that he won’t seek reelection in 2010. Sources say Bush hasn’t made up his mind about running for Martinez’ seat, but that he’s getting green lights from would-be contributors and blessings from Republican Party leaders.

Strategists and political observers take it as a sign that Bush will run.

"Everything indicates that he's in," said David Johnson, a Republican strategist and the CEO of Strategic Vision. "You're not making calls and laying the ground work for fundraising unless you're clearing the field for your candidacy."

Susan MacManus, a political science professor at the University of South Florida and an expert on Florida politics, said Bush's phone calls around the state are "a good sign" that he could be jumping in the race, something that she says is "music to the ears of Florida Republicans."

"Nothing could have come at a better time," MacManus said. "Republicans here in Florida were so down after the election. The mere mention of Jeb's potential Senate run has put Republicans in a much more festive holiday mood."

"If you liked George, you'll love Jeb"...

Run, Bush, Run.....

What do you have to compare Jeb with George Sod?

Or are you just blowing smoke?

Just predicting what the anti-Jeb folks will say...

They're few and far between. Florida republicans are begging him to run and most predict that if he does, he'll easily win the state, hands down.

I guess it's too bad for all the Bush haters that only Floridians get to vote in this election.

I figure we are talking about Florida, the country's insane asylum.

ANOTHER Bush?

Haven't we suffered enough??????????????

Apparently Floridians don't think so. But then it was they who overwhelming chose him in 2000 despite the lies and mistruth's put out by Gore supporters.
