CNN

I surely hope not, we don't need any more Bushes for any reason.

A broken insurance system.
A broken property tax system.
A broken education system.
Terri Schiavo

Isn't that enough?
Obviously Carvilles' never been to Florida.

The only way Jeb would have a chance of winning, is if he specifically said he disagrees with continuing the war in Iraq, as well as some other policies set by his brother.

We Americans would be just dumb enough to do it.

Run another Bush, go for it. I doubt if he could win if he were proclaimed JC himself at the present time in our nations history. Jeb's the smart one, he will sit this one out.

That is just simply not going to happen. If the complains concerning this administration from various people that I know mean anything no one who's last name is Bush is every going to be President again. I'm supporting Ron Paul the anti-bush candidate.

Not a big fan of the past presidents BUSH/CLINTON/BUSH/BUSH OR CLINTON

There's 300 million people in this country, let's get some new blood in the W. H.

Google Ron Paul

Just reading the list of panelists is enougn to carry us back to another century but another Bush?

No, No, No, we deserve better than that! Even the cosmetic clips promise more than a fate worse than death.

"George H. W. Bush was one of the most qualified President's in our history. He was a two term Congressman, Ambassador to the UN, Chairman of the RNC, Ambassador to China, Director of the CIA, and two term Vice President. To describe him as incompetent is clearly wrong as well."

Posted By Jared, Nashville, TN : October 16, 2007 4:16 pm

It isn't the qualifications, it's how the qualifications are utilized. The Bush's rank among the most ornery lot amongst people in power across history.
Most people are too fatigued from the collective misery of enduring all the Bush's, to find Carville's joke funny, as he indeed MUST BE JOKING.

Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? It's NOT funny.

I was predicting Jeb last year, but there's no way now, I suppose. Maybe Carville is just stickin' it to the Republicans. Jeb was polling under 1% before he took himself out of the race.

As for Romney's remark that "if his last name wasn't Bush, he'd be the one to beat", well, if his last name wasn't Bush, he'd be lucky to be managing a 7/11 in East Texas.

He would have the full support of the war profiteers.
There a lots of soverign nations we haven't invaded yet.

Please Jeb...don't get any bright ideas here...Florida had enough of you...why would the rest of our great country want to suffer as well?

that would be hilarious if the two nominees were a Clinton and a Bush again... surreal

What Mr. Carville means is, "Please don't nominate Dr. Paul for president!" Bush fatigue doesn't begin to describe the feeling ...

"Bush Fatigue"?????

We had that in 2000.

Everyone know Jeb's hands are dirty from Jack Abramoff affair. He can't stop it from coming out with committee investigations.

What many people don't understand is that President Bush's vision and policies are not that hated. What's resented is that perceivable he hasn't been able to push for and successfully implement his vision enough (mainly b/c he's lost political capital...). There's a 50+1% in this country who want someone with the President's vision and policies who can actually articulate and successfully implement those policies. Jeb Bush would be the perfect candidate. His only Achilles heel is that a few extremists in his party are going to resisit his friendly immigration policies towards Cuban refugees as well illegal immigrants for whom he'll also favor a guest-worker program.

But again, if it's against Hillary, I think the conservative base will let that go and rally behind him.

Here's a reason why it is absurd to watch CNN (or any television media):

"In addition to Carville and Watts, the panel included CNN analysts and contributors Paul Begala, Donna Brazile, Gloria Borger, Bill Bennett, and Amy Holmes."

Confederacy of Dunces

Sometimes it is hard to tell what forces influence Carville's crystal ball, but in this instance, he could be absolutely correct. Guliani and Romney can't seem to retreat fast enough from heretofore thoughtful positions on social issues. Thompson's numbers are in freefall after a couple weeks. McCain is tiresome and irrelevant. Brownback? Huckabee? Ha ha. Jeb's a Phi Beta Kappa guy. Really, he is.

The born agains will be thrilled to have one of their own in the race. They will work feverishly to turn out the vote, which could be the difference in a close election. Think about that. At least another four years of fundamentalist driven policies. I am not Hillary's biggest fan – she can be abrasive and has difficulty compromising on many issues. I'd crawl on broken glass to vote for her against Jeb, though.

It appears that CNN has deleted my previous posting. Here again:

Carville has disclosed that he supports hillary, but he is not on her payroll.

BTW, he also said Al Gore would be a candidate to the 2008 election too. So much for his prediction accuracy.

It would be for only one reason; clean up his family name.

Jeb Bush would not have a snowballs chance in hell of becoming President of the United States...get real! After almost 8 years of the corruption and lies of the Bush administration does the GOP think Americans are going to continue this madness? Typical republican arrogance. Obviously, the republicans still don't get it...American citizens have had enough. Just the thought of another Bush in the White House is revolting!

Bwahahahaha, sure.

If Jeb wants to run, I suggest he run on the jogging path. Americans will not forget the name "Bush", WMD's,Iraq and the many brave young military men and women who have been killed, suffering from TBI and many other injuries as a result of Bush's war. Let Americans vote NO to Jeb for all the deceased soldiers and their love ones. They have suffered enough without another Bush in the White House as a constant reminder.

"Someone the party can rally around," yes, but not the people. Washington is not about the people anymore, it's about 2 gangs and they both want to get paid! Besides, isn't Carville a democrat? It's like he's saying, if we can't have Hillary then another Bush would be just as good. Rupert Murdoch appears to think so....

NO WAY!!!! He ruined Florida's school system and countless other things. Wasn't he responsible for the FCAT? I will be forced to move to another country if we have another Bush in office.

If Jeb is the nominee, there will definately be a Democrat in the White House! Yee – Haw!

True conservative, yeah right!!! The only true conservative is RON PAUL. Power back to the states, no income taxes, and no meddling in other countries.

"If that cretin is elected President, I'm moving to Antarctica."

republicans would gain alot of ground if they stopped billing themselves as the redneck party....I would vote republican if i ever saw an actual conservative.
not a big government big spending but golly i love jesus and nascar conservative.....watch out for terrorists don't look at our record republicans are killing the party.
We don't need another bush to increase government spending and increase the size of government, that's what democrats are for.

Are you serious???? Who would be stupid enough to want another member of the Bush family of criminals? Remember Jeb's involvement in the Savings & Loan scandal? How about great grandpa's support of the NAZIS through his bank during WWII. And Pres.Bush 1 & 2 trying to disolve the USA into a North American Union. This family is a digrace!

If Jeb runs in 2016, then Chelsea would have to run... and oh my god! The perfect oligarchy!!!

ohmygod!!! We need another Bush like we need another Iraq war.

James Carville has disclosed that he supports hillary, but he is not on her payroll.

Another reason that Hillary has not hired him possibly because Carville married a republican consultant. Carville is married to Republican political consultant Mary Matalin, who had worked for President George H.W. Bush on his 1992 election campaign. Carville and Matalin were married in New Orleans on Yom Kippur, 1993.

Carville also has recently mentioned that he believes that Al Gore, whom he helped put in the White House as Vice President in 2008. This tells how unreliable his prediction is about Jeb Bush.

We do not need another Bush in the White house.....our country is already a mess because of this Family. High gas prices, food, rent, and God knows what else. I remember when people could live in America and not stress about money but since the Bush's have been in office things are worse. We are in a needless war and oil prices have jumped. When we went to war we opened a pandoras box...instead of the Administration worrying about Mexicans they should wonder on how many terrorist cells already live in this country. Thats what scares me. Jeb Bush in office....I hope not otherwise we will whind up in a revolution here..and for all those people who like the Bush's you need to get your heads out of the sand and think of America not the money you can make.

I am assuming that this article was posted strictly for comical reasons. LOL! You've got to be kidding right? GO HILLARY IN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are, for the first time in our history, standing on the precipice of becoming a default-monarchy, with dual royal houses: Bush and Clinton. What a sad, sad state of affairs that the Democratic party seems ready to coronate Hillary Clinton and at least certain pundits think the Republicans will do the same with Jeb Bush. (Even the Adams presidents were decades apart insofar as their White House terms were concerned; the Roosevelts were also decades apart, represented different parties, and were not father and son.) This of course suggests that we as a nation have run out of ideas, creativity of thought, and innovation of spirit...so we fall back on the old formulas, which we insist on viewing through a golden mist. Let me tell you–neither family is all that "golden." This situation is pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

At the current rate this country is headed, Jibber Jeb will be President right after Shillary. Maybe Chelsea will make a run against the Bush- wacker daughters.

America would NEVER have another Bush in office. Two is enough. After Hillary, two will be enough of the Clintons.

Wow. That would totally blow.
People have already said it here but I will reiterate it:
The world already things the U.S. is filled with idiots voting for idiots. Can we at *least* try to break that stereotype?

If Fred Thompson was from Florida, he probably still wouldn't know anything about drilling off the coast or Teri Shaivo.

If Jeb Bush is elected, I am moving to a country with smarter dictators.

Jeb would be the guy, but G.W. has killed the Bush family's political future. This country would never elect a Bush again. Qualified and competent as Jeb is he will never undo the damage his older brother has done to his party or his country.
Now if he had beaten Childes the first time out for governor, what a different legacy the Bush family would have had.

I've been saying this for months. For Bush to have someone to follow him that might be able to salvage somekind of worthwhile legacy, Cheney would resign and Bush would annoint his brother Jeb to take his place. Been surprised before? Get ready!

If another Bush runs, and buy's his way into offer the US, and the rest of the world is f&*&ed!!!
Plan and Simple...

I'm sure Carville made the comment to stir the pot. The idea of another Bush now is absurd...he'd love to see it and know it would reinforce the foregone conclusion...a Dem will win the presidency...because the Repubs have made such a monumental mess out of most everything, exhibited such derision for the law and left a nation and the world feeling our "leadership" is dim, dangerous and ready to shot from the hip. Bush is now just a nail in the coffin.

A friend of mine who works in network news in New York says that this tidbit is making the rounds right now:
On a recent private jet flight, a rather tipsy Rupert Murdoch said this about his adopted homeland: "You know what U.S.A. stands for to me? Uneducated silly arseholes. I make billions every year pedaling rah-rah bollocks to the American public and I'm bloody happy to do it. If and when the pendulum swings the other way, I'll make billions more catering to them with a different kind of populist claptrap. Compared to doing business in China where they're very discerning, the States was like taking candy from a baby."

If the Bush Crime Family saw the '08 election as winable or stealable, Jeb would be marketed as some sort of savior.

He won't run against the Dem Tsunami coming in '08, even if it means interrupting our budding lil Hereditary Monarchy.

Instead, they'd be more likely to leave the next President set up for failure by 'burning all the fields and villages' behind them – leaving unmanageable disasters in Iraq and the economy. Then run Jeb in 2012.

One problem -- his brother has made the family name "poison" in 75% of USA homes due to his Iraq record!

Don't forget how Jeb scrubbed his office of the Jack Abramoff Scandel. We have proof, lots of it. Free my son.com

There are rumors Bush's grandftaher was in with the Nazis in Germany. After 6+ years of Bush rule, I believe it runs in the family. I will never forget Jeb cheatng to steal the 2000 election or lying to everyone about Terri Schiavo. He is better than GW but that's not saying much. Anyone would be.

Hmmm... Jeb Bush vs. Hillary Clinton. Given that choice, I say that we clone Hitler's mustache and run him as an independant.

The only way Jeb could be elected is if he was disowned from the Bush family and ran as a Democrat. America is tired of the Bushes and have given up on Republican promises of small government, fiscal responsibility and a mindful foreign policy. They are also tired of being reminded to be afraid all the time, ala Rudolph Guiliani (he was the mayor of NYC during September 11th, in case you forgot!... he's not here to remind you).

That leaves:

-McCain: tied his platform too closely to the war in Iraq

-"Dead Thompson": he tried to arrive "fashionably late" but realized he made the party a dud after he got there. Lazy work ethic, boring speeches, and....zzzzzz zzzz excuse me, I fell asleep just thinking about him.

- Ron Paul: fear is the only hand the GOP can play right now, so they'll never run a candidate who speaks the truth about Iraq and geopolitics.

- Mitt "I was against everything in my platform before I was for it" Romney: He looks like John Kerry with a greasy hairdo, and makes his nuanced stances on the issues look consistent by comparison. What a joke!

- Huckabee: nice guy. Probably the least worst of all the bunch. But he's pushing that flat tax, which is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Pin the tax base solely to consumer confidence. Great idea!! Doh.

- all the rest: none of them stand a snowball's chance in HELL because they all have R's next to their name.

Bush '08? Great idea! How about Bush/Bin Laden '08. Since they are in business together, that would be a fine ticket. Carville is on serious drugs.

our country is in desperate need of a viable third party...we have got to get away from both of these; EQUALLY corrupt parties.

I agree, we have had enough of the Bush family in politics! NO MORE! But sure, run Jeb against Hillary for the entertainment value???

Carville, Begala, Brazile – Clinton Apologists and symptomatic of what went wrong with the Democratic Party and politics in general.

Carville's views and predictions are best used when on grass or plants (read: BS)

Run, Jeb, run! PLEASE!

He is different from his father and brother. He is better.

Where can I get what Carville is on?

This is the dumbest things of which I have ever heard. The Bush name is synonymous with eliteism, deceit, corruption and bad leadership. Does Carville think we have forgotten this already.

Just give us four years of President Hillary Clinton and then we just might be ready for Jeb.

... but if Jeb gets elected in 2012, that means that Chelsea Clinton will follow in 2016 and then Jenna Bush in 2020.

I need a drink!

I am all for it. There is not one person on either side that I would want vote for that is running right now.

To Bubba's comment who lives in Ga-Bush did a wonderful job leading us through the hurricane season. I live in Polk County that saw 4 hurricanes in one season. Nobody in Fl was complaining about his leadership.

God save us from being executed in the grocery stores while Hillary Clinton and her first man are sending Christmas cookies (sorry holiday snacks)to the terrorists with happy holiday cards asking them to please Mr. Bad guys stop killing us and your own son's and daughters. The packages will be packed by anti-war volunteers in bomb shelters. I'd vote for a dead man before Hill and Bill. How sick are people backing those two. This country needs someone with guts not this phony Mr and Mrs Clinton monarchy. Wake up Mr. and Mrs. America. This is not a tea party.

Jared from Nashville, TN said: George H. W. Bush was one of the most qualified President's in our history. He was a two term Congressman, Ambassador to the UN, Chairman of the RNC, Ambassador to China, Director of the CIA, and two term Vice President. To describe him as incompetent is clearly wrong as well.

Agreed. I'm not a fan of Bush Sr. or Bush Jr., but it is kind of silly to say he wasn't well-qualified.

Come to it, he had far better credentials for the presidency than ANY of the current contenders, period. That's one of the problems. Bush Jr. was a novice in world politics, and compared to Bush Sr., the next president will be as well.

As far as Carville's comments go, I'm surprised more people can't see through him. He's saying that to stoke the fires of disillusion and discontent among Republican voters with the current field. The more voters who say, "Carville is right", the more who will be dissatisfied with the current crop of candidates, and when Jeb doesn't run (as he patently won't) the more Republicans stay home on election day due to disillusion.

As others have pointed out, he is on Clinton's team. He's setting her up for a win–always.

I say these things, and I'm a liberal democrat, folks.

This is a joke, right? James Carville – you kidder!

Oh, hell no! This worries me because he doesn't actually have to be voted in. He can just steal the election. He has experience in that.

Oh NO, Please NO....Not another one

The last thing this weary, sorely- damaged country needs is yet another Bush in the White House. Time for that greedy, power-hungry dynasty to end, or move in with the Saudi royalty they are such cozy pals with.

Nobody cares what that looney Carville says except you at CNN.

This would be awesome: a Catholic President.

Have you lost your freakin mind? Another Bush in the White House when the one there now should be Impeached?

HILARY WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT...I for one will be glad to see the Clintons back in D.C.

Only problem is...his last name is BUSH No thanks, no way, no how. Enough incompetence – enough of the Bush family. Hey Jeb, btw, thank your doofus brother for ruining your political aspirations.

NOT gonna happen. Carville has planted the seed to distract Republicans. Beware!

I love how all these morons on this blogg is saying who would vote for BUSH,,blah blah blah, GW is blah blah,,when he got the most votes in american history in 2004,,,YOu whiny lil babies need to stop sounding like a 4yr old that lost your toy. GW is the man.

Dear God, save us from another Bush. The country can't survive another Republican Administration. If that were to happen, I'd have to pack my kit and head out yonder.

Bush couldn't win– he needs a brother who can creatively give him a swing state. No more Bush governors = no more Bush Presidents.

I want to know where Carville is getting the good stuff (to smoke)?

After the 2000 election snafu in Florida how could anyone trust him? He promised his older sibling Florida and he made sure he got it (by hook or crook). And who could ever forget the Terry Shivao (God rest her soul) mess. Talk about pandering. Who wants to see that old battle ax, Barbara Bush grinning from ear-to-ear as another son pursues her dream of a Bush dynasty?

Jeb would be better off pursuing retirement from politics. The republicans would be better off going back to their roots and shaking off the Christianists in their midst instead of trying to find the next Reagan.

You think "Punchy" forgot to take a look at the latest polls showing Giuliani and Clinton virtually tied in national polling?

Let's see here, Giuliani is running neck and neck with Clinton at a time the Democratic candidate should be WAY ahead (Iraq, Healthcare) and "Punchy" thinks that another Bush is going to swoop in and take over the Republican nomination.

Precious!

Anyone else notice that everytime the Democratic strategists talk about the Republican race they never give Giuliani ANY chance? Seems fairly obvious to me that they are VERY concerned about running against Rudy in the general and are trying to do anything they can to try and poison potential moderate Republicans and Independents against voting for Rudy.

Why don't you ask Florida what we think of Jeb! We didn't want him after he stole the last election, and we don't want him now!

Why would he want the job? After all, look at all the whiners that blamed his brother for Katrina! Let a socialist/communist Clinton have it for 4 years and this country will be begging for him to run!

Jeb Bush? Are you serious? Bush the Lesser vs. Clinton the Lesser. There isn't much to choose from with those two...both are riding on coattails. If Clinton vs. Bush winds up being the ticket, voters will turn out in record numbers (either high or low, but record numbers). And if Bush wins, Canada will see a record population growth. Just remember: The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Obviously Clinton will win. With Dubya's poll numbers as low as ever, will American's really trust another Bush running the country? I don't think so.

I don't care for Hillary but she would win in the biggest landslide in history if she runs against Jeb Bush.

So, apparently, Carville is all for the Monarcy idea. Great...he can be court jester.

If anyone REALLY wants to know what the Shrubbies are about, just do some research on their grandfather. Prescott. There the path to truth starts. And if anyone does look into him, ask yourself...How come no one has ever mentioned this before? Oh ya. Read up on where the Herbert and Herbert Walker parts of their names come from. Some very interesting family history. If you like horror stories.

Thank You James Carville....Best Idea I've heard concerning American Politics in a long, long, time. I think JEB would make a Great President. Just the man to satisfy the dreams of many Republican Supporters!
GO JEB....Good Family Stock and Genes are very important qualities in deciding on a President. By George the more I think of it I don't think a more brillant Idea has ever made print!

JEB SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE 2000 AND 2004 CANDIDATE RATHER THAN GW. HE WOULD BE FORMIDABLE AND I BELIEVE HE MORE PRACTICAL THAN GW AND HILLARY. HE WOULD WIN IF HE RAN.

I doubt that Jeb Bush will be able to run for President. I think he will be spending a good deal of his time at the Hague supporting his brother, George, through his trials for war crimes.

And if this happens, as Lewis Black says:

"The people should rise up as one, and SLAY them."

George maybe the reason Jeb never gets the Presidency. At least at this juncture the nation has had its fill of anything that end in Bush. Wouldn't you just love to attend (1) Christmas dinner at the Bushes house!

Bush, Clinton, Bush, Bush?
Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton, Bush?

This is pure insanity, it is time for America to realize that they are being manipulated by a few families (not just the Bushes and Clintons) year in and year out. It is of my personal opinion that anyone who sends a vote to either of these families, or anyone who registers as a supporter of these families is a reckless voter of questionable ethical and moral concern for the rest of the country at hand. The Bush family and the Clinton family know all to well what is taking place and America is playing into the hands of big government socialist well wishing.

For a return favor, Jeb could get his brother Neil for his vice president. The banks and savings and loans would love this. Remember Neil helped Jeb get his start, so Jeb could help on Neil out now.

You can't live in Antartica JKap, it's against international law.

I tried.

Too bad Jeb didn't run instead of W, when the Bush name was an asset. He unlike his brother received my vote. Now, especially after discovering his PNAC connnection, I'm glad that he is out of this election.

I read where someone said they were a
liberal republican and would vote for jeb bush he's the best candidate of
either side.

Boy oh boy dumb n dumber this phool
wants the bush crime family to continue
it's greed and treason. The Fascist are rampant, however we should expect
more ridiculous tiraids from them in
the future.

Yeah jeb, coulter, limbaugh, savage
all great Americans that need to be
deported to Saudi Arabia where darth
himmler cheney can torture them.

bush,clinton,bush,clinton,bush?
Can I puke now! Wake up people
are we this stoopid? Voting Machines
owned by the Private sector!
Were Stoopid and still counting!

Obama is the Man!

Jeb Bush?? Yeah, right. Should we all just overlook the fact that he was ruled unconstitutional TWICE and still pursued the Terri Shiavo (may she rest in peace) intrusion and state vouchers for private schools? Just what our country needs, another Bush with the mindset that he is above the rule of law. No thanks.

Now let's get this straight, some of you want the man who conspired with Kathryn Harris to rob thousands of Americans of their vote and place "W" in the White House, to run for President. Is it just that you all are so Republican that you are incapable of recognizing that Jeb and the Florida Republican Party stole the 2000 election by purging the voting rolls of thousands of eligible voters. I always feared that the Republicans don't really support Democracy, here's proof. The right has opposed every effort to expand suffrage. From the vote for women, to the civil rights act, Repubs have always said, "No" to letting the people have their say in favor of manipulated elections, denials of voting, intimidation, poll taxes, et. al. Look up any definition of fascism, see if there's something familiar and elephantlike.

Now this is really upseting. Jeb Bush. This has got to be the worst news yet. This whole election is turning into a nightmare.

So is that like a democratic monarchy?

UGHHHHH !!!

Without question the machinery to make this occur is already in motion. Former Governor Bush will be the nominee for the republicans in Minneapolis and will be elected the 44th president of the U.S. Followed in 2017 by a Bush nephew. There will never again be a time for any currently living American when a Bush isn't president.

with the polls showing how well liked bush is and as many problems as republicans have had to deal with concerning bush,i don't think this country is ready for a third bush in the white house

My theory is the "Bushies" are going to wait until "Little George" (Jeb's son) can run. He is now a lawyer in Florida – very charming, good looking and fluent in Spanish. By then, all of this anti-Bush sentiment will have been forgotten. We have a short memory in this country. Give them 10 years and he will be on the campaign trail!! Three generations of "Bushies" as president – can't you just see it coming down the road?!!

There will not be another President Bush. Ever. The name Bush has become infamous. With good reason.

Bush believes the country is suffering from "Bush fatigue" wow that might just be the understatement of the century.

If that cretin is elected President, I'm moving to Antarctica.

Carville talks a lot. A LOT. That doesn't mean he makes sense. This doesn't; it's hot air.

Roger, your comment about a grammatical mistake in the article was littered with grammatical errors and misspellings and was overall incoherent. Throw stones much?

Funny thing is...Jeb is the smart one!!

I'd vote for Jeb. He's very different than his brother. He is a successful business man, unlike his brother, and he was a good Florida govenor. He also recused himself from the 2000 election recount, although not surprisingly the democrats still want to blame Jeb for the outcome.

But hey, I'd vote for RuPaul before I'd vote for Hillary Clinton. Ru is more woman than Hillary and he's a black man. What more could you ask for?

Bush VS Clinton 08 is a sick joke.

We need Ron Paul. He's THE true conservative, he's also the only candidate who will stand up for our constitution and the rule of law (not men).

Jeb and W should have been hung with the same rope for what they pulled in the 2000 election. Maybe, just maybe Daddy and Uncle Jim can pull it off again? Move those sheep out.

I have no problems with Jeb Bush. He's an intelligent man, unlike his older brother. He did a great job in Florida as governor, but if there was another Bush in the White House, I'd probably run for the hills...after all, people thought Dubya did a decent job in Texas....and look what happened.

I can't think of a more frightening prospect than another 4 years of a Bush White House! I threatened to leave the country if W was elected to a second term...this would seal the deal for sure! As Bill Cosby would say "Come on people"!

Jeb said he wanted to be the "education governor" – after his eight years in office we are now one of the lowest states in the counttry in education. Taxes have become so high that even the snowbirds are getting out. Jeb as president? My head and heart both ache just thinking about it. God help us if this should happen.

Jeb Bush? What a joke. He couldn't even run his (very strange) state of Florida. To even think of him as a candidate for president – an office which hopefully will be at least somewhat repaired by '08 from the destruction his brother and related incompetent cronies have caused – boggles the mind. Come on James Carville....Well, though you've stretched my sense of humor, you did give me a good laugh!

I completely agree with this prediction. I think Tucker got it right. I thought this was going to be an option a long time ago. I was hoping I was wrong, but an interesting combination.

It's too bad that the American people are so stupid that they think they can only vote for the republicans or the democrats....Both parties polarize the voters to stay in power.

Just like everybody else I am sick to my stomach of Bush and sick of the entire distrusting Bush family. I hope after January 2009 I never see another one of them in my life. They don’t deserve to serve in any future public office. I like James but he is way off on this one.

Bush Fatigue is right... we need someone as far away from W and his crony clan as possible... America is tired of being Bushwhacked...

"What's really ironic is that after having a father and brother who were totally incompetent and unqualified, Jeb could probably do a pretty good job….but the Bush name is poison now." – Jim, Atlanta

George H. W. Bush was one of the most qualified President's in our history. He was a two term Congressman, Ambassador to the UN, Chairman of the RNC, Ambassador to China, Director of the CIA, and two term Vice President. To describe him as incompetent is clearly wrong as well.

I love it when people refer to the 2000 election as the stolen election. I guess you will not let anything get in the way of your precious pipe dream including facts. The Supreme Court ruled that if there was going to be a recount, every district had to be counted by hand, which is something that Al didn't want to happen.

Also, I think it is ironic that people say they want the government to stay of out of your life but then you throw your support behind a group that wants to control us more than ever. We need fewer taxes, not more. We need more choices when it comes to our heath, not less. We need to celebrate our individuality and not cling to a specific group. More rights for the people and less rights for the politicians. Make them show us what they are doing instead of telling us one thing and doing another.

When you allow yourself to be lumped into a group, you are seen as a entity that can be demonized instead of an individual with real experiences. Don't let them scam you into believing that your life's destiny is to be a pawn in their virtual chess game.

Vote for less government control.

If Jeb Bush is nominated, can someone please send me the information on how to become a Canadian citizen.

James Carville, buddy, even though we're of different political persuasions, I love ya.

However, bud, you're flat wrong on this one.

Even as a conservative, I too, have Bush/Clinton Fatigue and simply don't wish to see either of those names on a ballot again (at least not in my lifetime).

Jeb might be a great guy and likely far more competent than his brother.

But I simply cannot take another 4-8 years of liberal ranting and foaming at the mouth, as they uncontrollably writhe about on the floor, gnashing their teeth and shouting profanities like someone possessed (this folks, is what happens to liberals afflicted with the dreaded Bush Derangement Syndrome, or BDS).

Sorry, American Democrats, I didn't mean to implicate you with this description, just the radical liberals who have hijacked your party.

I think we honestly have more in common than we're led to believe. The Democrat party, however, simply needs an exorcism to rid the party of the MoveOn.orgs and the like that have possessed this once great party.

My grandfather was a Democrat until his death, but had he lived long enough to see what had become of his party, he would have jumped ship like the rest of us.

Maybe that's the plan...every sensible person hates Hillary, but they won't elect another Bush right after this one...then, Jeb runs in 8 years and wins because nobody remembers him running in 2008(A.D.D. really helps), and the circle remains unbroken...44 years of Bush/Clinton...if you don't think they're in cahoots, I got ocean front property in PA for steal of a deal!

This is third world at it's best! We have dynasty and dictatorship!

I love Carville, but he is off his rocker on this one. No way the Republicans want to go anywhere near the name Bush in 2008. I would welcome it as that would insure a Democratic victory.

could be a good clone of his brother george and father bush

Yeah, because the cure for despotism in the United States will be the election of the brother of the guy who caused this entire mess to begin with. Not to mention that if Jeb runs, us Constitution-lovin' liberals will instantly attack his vile role in GWB's Florida "victory."

Lil' Bush: "Jeb fall down."

There's a song titled " The Day the Music Died". With this thought of Jeb Bush, it will be "The Day Democracy Died." Oh wait, the fact that Hillary is the leading nomination already brings the death of democracy. Hmm, I'm going to have to research which monarchy is the best one out there and start packing my bags. I'd rather be in a country defined as a monarchy than here where we pretend to embrace democracy. Hip Hip Hoorah for ignorance and laziness! We excel at it.

God forbid, not another Bush. Haven't we had enough?

I'm from Florida, consider myself a liberal Republican and am leaning towards Hilary in 2008. But as much as I loath #43, if Jeb were to change his mind and run for the White House I'd jump on board his campaign in a second. While governor of the 4th largest state in the union, he pushed through environmental reforms, cut the state deficit and downsized government, supported Latin America trade, was decisive during the awful hurricane seasons of 04 and 05, and was strong on minority rights (except LGBT, unfortunately). He's no saint mind you – his education history is spotty, he tanked on workers rights and election reform, dropped the ball in the DCF scandal, not to mention Terri Shivo, in the end I think he'd make a better president than any of the candidates from either party. He's a true Republican, not some evangelical hand puppet for uber-social conservatives and the the business elite. Too bad his last name is Bush.

Thank you James, I just vomited all over the floor.

A Bush is a Bush, is a Bush, is a Bush. To put another Bush in the White House would be the third worst mistake the electorate will have ever made.

Another CNN story with Carville involved and no mention that he is an advisor for Hillary Clinton. Well done CNN, your slide to the bottom of the news spectrum continues. At this rate you should catch up with Fox "News" before the 08 elections

I think Carville needs to talk to his wife. He is a has been. Jeb would have been alot better than George W. But I don't believe illary is the answer to our problems. She makes a lot of sense but, I just can't see her in the White House.

As Jesse Jackson once said.

"Stay out of the bushes"

Carville is one smart SOB and he just dropped a bomb.

Hillary is one of the most unlikeable leaders around. While Repub Fred Thompson could have vast cross over appeal. Many Americans have seen him on tv and movies and liked what they saw.

Carville wants America to continue to associate the Republican party with the Bush name because Dubbya has made Bush a dirty word. (pun).

Jeb can't garner the religious conservatives because their "aryan" wing won't approve of his latina wife. If he suddenly gets divorced,he might be running. If he took dobson's money and launched a failed attempt,that'd be very funny. I want to see somebody deprive the right-wingers of their money. I don't care who.

Bush Fatigue indeed! It would be different if the economy were soaring and the troops were heading home. But the economy is tanking and the troops are almost sitting ducks in Iraq. Even in 2006 nearly all the Republican congressional incumbents were distancing themselves from GW Bush. J Bush faces a phenomenal uphill battle inside his own party. Now is not the time for him.

Does anyone proof read these stories before they hit the web (may...Make).COME ON, we are turning into a country of people who can't spell and (or) have no understanding of our the english language. World hunger (NO) but it underminds CNN's credibility!!!!!!

what a JOKE! we are still laughing at anyone with the name bush running for any office. hahahaha

It isn't Bush Fatique Syndrome. It is Bush Failures Syndrome.

I think Americans have learned their lesson about electing people because of their last name and family connections.

The biggest thing going against Hillary Clinton is her last name. Americans are sick of these two dynasties having a stranglehold on the White House.

Jeb Bush does seem like a qualified candidate. Too bad he didn't run in the 2000 election. Maybe a Jeb/McCain ticket? That would have been an impeccable ticket and would have been a good race.

Bush.... as long as I live, I'll never vote for a Bush!

Whew~! I can breathe easier now! Jeb running in 2008? He ruined the state of Florida.....making it a laughing stock, between the Florida recount debacle and the Terri Schiavo case......We certainly don't need anymore of these type of shananigans from another member of the Bush family~~~and when did James and JC change sides?

What a crazy, stupid idea!!
Who would want another Bush in the White House. Two Bushes are two too many.
With another Bush, this country would surely be finished off and ruined to the extent that we would never be a great country again!!!!!!!

Former Governor Jeb Bush vs. Senator Clinton might be the one thing to make me vote for HER.

I am nauseated at the thought. Another Bush or Clinton in office makes me sick!

To Thomas in NY:

James Carville is the top advisor to Hillary!

He won't come "out front" too much until the party nominations are clear.

After 7 years of the current Bush regime, WHY would ANYONE want to inflict another Bush on the American people? I have no idea if Jeb is a good/bad politician, but his last name alone could be reason enough to keep him as far from Washington as possible.

The funny thing is that Jeb and George W are polar opposites, and don't really get along. If Jeb hadn't lost the first governor's race to Lawton Chiles, he'd have ran in 2000, not W.

And you know, this country is just stupid enough to elect another Bush!

If Jeb runs, Karl Rove will be back like never before!

Of course, watching James Carville dismantle Jeb would be fun, too!

NO MORE BUSH!!! And I agree with robert's comment about clinton/bush dynasty as that would be very true. But I would vote for a Clinton any day than another Bush. Everyone has to agree with that.

May God help us all if another Bush makes it into the white house.

Oh please lord Jesus above not another Bush!

I think that the older Bush is right ...aren't we all slightly tired of the Bush management system? Give me a break....that isn't why Jeb Bush can't run for President...his brother has made such a mess of his family name that he can't even run for dog catcher.

What a depressing idea.

What a vile thought...another Bush in the White House. Does everyone forget that he and fellow Florida Republicans were complicit in the stealing of the 2000 election?

This is the number one reason people should walk away from Hilary right now. If we think for a second that he wont be running sooner or later we are insane.

End the dynasty politics, there are far better families in this country than those two.

Jeb is a clown. Remember him during hurricane season?

No way that Jeb Bush will be the rep nominee. Jeb has a lot of baggages passed oy his brother, George Bush. With a few months to go, there is little chance any newcomer would have a realistic chance getting nominated.

Now I know why Carville, who helped Bill Clinton in 2002, has not been hired by Hillary.

I love the idea! Jeb Bush versus Hillary Clinton!

And 8 years from now, it can be Bush's daughter Barbara versus Bill's daughter Chelsea! Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr. are the sage kings. Their lineage cannot be stopped.

Its funny that this post would come just a few posts after the "Who is the true Republican?" post below.

If I were a Republican – and I am not – I would take Jeb Bush over Romney, Guiliani, Thompson, and McCain. I think Bush has much better credentials, a stronger, more consistent record of conservatism, and has proven to be a tough leader in his own state.

What's really ironic is that after having a father and brother who were totally incompetent and unqualified, Jeb could probably do a pretty good job....but the Bush name is poison now.

As Romney said "If his last name wasn't Bush he'd probably be the one to beat"

"Snakehead", as Carville's lovely wife and counsellor to Bushie cronies calls him, is smoking the good stuff. For this year at least, the Bushes have been beat.

Woooo!!! That would mean no choice but
the Clinton / Bush Dynasty, I repeat no choice whatsoever. I respect James Carville as a political analyst and that just gave me a chill hearing it proposed by him as a draft at the RNC convention, due to disunity and Rep. frustration. It could Happen!

All the more reason people, to consider
Barak Obama for our next president of
the United States of America. Don't let the same old tired way of old Washington politics drag on and drag us down.

Vote for the smartest guy in the room
Barak Obama!

Show them that we the people are back!

Go ahead and run Jeb. That's just exactly what we need, another Bush running against another Clinton. If that doesn't prove to the country and the world that Democracy is dead nothing ever will.

He would be the perfect leader, in many ways I'd contend better than his brother as he's more articulate. But again the immigration issue's going to come back and haunt the party...A significant portion of GOP voters would stay home b/c they don't agree with the Bush family's policies on guest-worker programs and overall sympathy for the hispanic community's issues. So he probabaly wouldn't get the whole 62 million voters that W did in 2004.
