Jeb Bush Making Noises About Running For Senate

Just when you thought you had seen the last of the Bush Crime Family, we have stirrings that Jeb, Dubbya's other brother, is planning a run at the Senate. Republican Mel Martinez announced his retirement yesterday as part of an orchestrated move to ease Jeb Bush into his seat.

According to Politico.com:
Since Martinez's announcement Tuesday, Bush has received many phone calls and emails from Floridians and national Republicans urging him to run, the source close to him said Tuesday night.

Bush has kept a low-profile since leaving office in 2007, but he retains a strong following among Florida Republicans and would almost certainly clear the Republican field should he decide to run.

But he's in no hurry to decide, said a top adviser, and won't make a decision until after the new year.
In "GOP speak", this means only one thing, he is running! Unfortunately, the fine citizens of Florida may not have sense enough to keep Jeb from getting back on the horse and heading to the Senate. Look for talk of "Jeb 2012" during the next Presidential cycle.
