Gov. Jeb Bush Not Eyeing Presidential Run

1 hour, 19 minutes ago


TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Read his lips: Gov. Jeb Bush really, really isn't interested in succeeding his brother in the White House in 2008.

Bush reiterated Tuesday that he is not going to run for the Senate when Florida has a seat up in 2006, and said he has no designs on the presidency four years from now.

And he is getting awful tired of the question.

"Might you change your mind?" asked a reporter.

"No!" governor said. "Why am I not believable on this subject? This is driving me nuts."

But he dodged a question on whether he might "eventually" run for president.

"Eventually, what's that?" Bush asked after a sigh.

The governor's second and final four-year term ends in January 2007.

It might be interesting if he did go for it.

Thank for that!

i already knew that. why wont al gore run again!

Duffyboy

That's what I wondered this year.

He should already be the US president. I'm amazed that he didn't try to redefeat Bush this year.

Al Gore? Seriously? No. Howard Dean. Al Gore isn't fit for it.

Duffyboy

You are crazy about that man aren't you.

The thing about Gore is that he would have the trust of the people, having already won the 2000 election.

I don't know enough about HD to make a comment.

If he really wanted to be president, he'd run again in 2004. I dont think he wants to take the responsibility of terrorism. There are politicans who dont want to go near the issue. and I think Gore is one of them. Besides... he loses his temper too fast.. kind of like someone else on this board.

I personally don't think Gore would have been a good for the job. I would rather have seen him get it over Bush, but I still don't think he was the best man for the position.

I'm with Jess, Howard should give it another shot And I heard talks of Edwards running in 2008
