Jeb Bush for President in 2012

Another Bush in the White House? George Bush Sr. thinks that it would be a great idea.

Jeb Bush is the current president’s younger brother and a former popular governor of Florida. He is mulling a run for Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla.

Asked in a broadcast interview about Jeb Bush’s consideration of the Senate seat, Bush 41 said: “I’d like to see him run. I’d like to see him be president someday.”

When asked if he was serious, he said: “Or maybe senator. Whatever. Yes, I would. I mean, right now is probably a bad time, because we’ve had enough Bushes in there. But no, I would. And I think he’s as qualified and able as anyone I know on the political scene. Now, you’ve got to discount that. He’s my son.”

The former president spoke on “Fox News Sunday” in an interview that was taped Friday in Houston.

Jeb Bush was pretty popular in Florida. He was able to serve as governor for 2 full terms. With him as a candidate for president it is possible for him to carry the state of Florida. Who knows what will happen. The campaigning for the next election will probably begin in the next 2 years and a lot has to do with international affairs and the economy- things that can changed dramatically in a couple years.
