Jeb is considering Senate run

A source close to former Gov. Jeb Bush has told the Herald that he is considering a run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Mel Martinez. Bush told friends he will discuss it with his family over the holidays and then make a decision.

The former governor believes it could be a prime opportunity to fill what he sees as "a void in Washington" and he would use the opportunity to talk about what the Republican Party stands for and pursue issues important to him like education and immigration.

If Bush decides to run, however, the source said, it will not because he sees this as a step to the White House.

Jeb is the best and was also the best governor this state has ever had. Jeb would win hands down and Sink is so weak she was afraid to even run against Mel Martinez and that tells you how strong she thinks she is. Crist is a wimp with no guts or conviction and it would be fantastic to have a strong leader here in Florida again. If Crist wasn't governor Jim Greer wouldn't have any bags to carry and nothing to do so we would have to add one more name to the unemployment numbers.

Perhaps Jeb can introduce his new health care plan. if you are poor and of color, automatic Do Not Rescesuitate Z(sp) If you are white or Christian you can even get your brother the President to try and save your life. Schiavo Moesha. That will save some taxpayer money.
