[lpbk2713]

He didn't just say no he said "hell, no"

Makes me wonder if the Florida GOP truly is scared to death of Cruella writing a tell-all book. Harris has a snowball's chance in hell in this election. So the Florida GOP, in essence, is handing the election over to Nelson. I'm looking forward to a humiliating defeat for her.


Gov. Jeb Bush made it clear Friday that he will not seek the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Democrat Bill Nelson, regardless of who asks him to run.

"No, hell no," Bush said when asked if he would consider replacing U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris as the Republican candidate if she ends her faltering campaign.

He said he is asked all the time about getting into the contest. What if his brother, President Bush, called? "No. (Even if) Pope Benedict calls," Bush responded. "I'm not doing it, trust me. I am not interested."

5. Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner

Exactly my thoughts - he has way bigger fish to fry in the next two years.

2. "No, hell no," Bush, the good Christian, said eom

3. That would push Harris over the edge

into payback territory. It's not a matter of choice this time, Jeb old boy. And no Bush will want to condescend to discuss and debate things with collegiate authorities anymore. Born to rule at the top.

But still afraid of their cronies blackmail.

7. Well, good. We wouldn't want Slobberin' Jeb AND Mel Martinez to

represent people in the Sunshine State. They deserve at least one sentient being, and Jeb wouldn't qualify.

I'd love Nelson to be Boxer, but even if he is not, thank jesus he's not Jeb Bush or Kathering Harris.

Go, Dems.

8. The whole story sounds good....until the words "trust me" ...
