"{A}ny Bush Boom would have to deal with the fact that Republican opinion-leaders (and the current candidates) have spent a good part of the last three years trashing the administration of Jeb's brother as a heretical exercise in Big Government Conservatism." and 'nominating yet another Bush -- the brother and son of two disliked Republican presidents -- is not a recipe for success' among repugs.

I do agree, however, overall: They'd get killedl. OKAY!!!

The Walter Mondale of 2012, if you will.

Hey, when Tommy Boy Friedman is saying the GOP should maybe take a pass on this year's election.....!

It will be interesting to see what happens if that comes to pass. I thought Romney had this locked up but I am starting to waver a bit. The possibility of a brokered convention still looms as well. What a mess the GOPers have wrought on themselves. Love it!

GHWB, twenty years after his one term is rarely mentioned but if we begin hearing his name something's afoot.

They have managed to psychologically remove his brother Georgie from their history of the world. They probably believe that they can do the same to the voters.

They'd lose badly as well.

But not this time. The next election

So with all this talk about a brokered convention, the eventual nominee will have to be someone who was in the original cast?

Per Ezra Klein, it's doable but would be a 'suicide mission'...

I like Ezra Klein. He seems to be able to parse this stuff with ease.

first ballot I believe. Of course many would have loyalties to particular candidates so there would have to be some wheeling and dealing- likely the selected candidate would have to accept one of the others as VP.

anything else. As our good friend Rev. Jackson would say, "Stay out of the Bushes".

I like the sound of that!

The title threw me off.
