Here's another candidate who's been out of office and out of the limelight way too long to get any type of momentum going. Also her views are a bit out of sync with the rest of the national party. Don't see it happening.

Charlie is one of these politicians who looks at himself in the mirror and sees a potential President, but I don't see it happening for him. At least not in 2012.

If he wins the Senate race this year (likely in my view), he'll entertain offers for the VP slot. FL's electoral votes are very important, and frankly, it surprises me that the national party has never selected a Floridian to be on the national ticket, given the state's electoral vote count and swing state status.

I've always maintained that one of Al Gore's biggest mistakes was not putting former Sen. Bob Graham on the ticket. That would have locked the state up for the Democrats that year, and Gore would have won the Presidency.

Someone will put a Floridian on the ticket someday, and right now, Crist is the top candidate. As a President however, I think he would be mediocre. Too afraid to take tough stances and sells out easily.

I wasn't aware that former NM Governor Gary Johnson was running for President in 2012. He would no doubt be a decent choice. I also see that his fan club is out and about here on RIA. More power to them--all the reports I've heard out of him is that he was a good governor. He lowered taxes, left the state with an almost perfect bond rating, and balanced the state budget in the process. I'd go out on a limb and say that 90% of the candidates on this list can't say the same. Johnson also ran the state with business-like precision; a quality which is sorely needed in Washington. I also appreciate the fact that he has experience in government at the executive level. Legislators in the final analysis usually make poor Presidents.

I think he'll take some of the Ron Paul voters, should he officially run. Also Johnson needs to get more aggressive in terms of publicity and making media appearances. He's not going to get a lot of votes if people don't know that he's running. If he plays his cards right, I can definitely see him in the thick of things. There is a lot of weakness right now in the GOP race; right now Mike Huckabee is leading the pack, so anything can happen.

The big knock on his chances for the nomination will probably include a lack of institutional support. Plus I don't see the rank and file lining up behind a pro-choice, pro gay rights, pro drug legalization candidate. Also not helping matters is the fact that he's been out of office for a few years and doesn't have a strong public platform.

In principle he's a good candidate, but he's likely a longshot. He might make it interesting though, especially if he plays his cards right.

With Tim Pawlenty as President and Al Franken as Senate Majority Leader Minnesota will finally wield the power to run the nation that it has long deserved.

A Phd level academic with a depth of experience and working credentials at the highest levels in public administration and foriegn relations? I think they'll pick Sarah Palin instead.

Let's hope that he doesn't turn out to be like his uncle, who was born with a silver spoon up his nose.

Yeah, they're just lining up to vote for people named Bush these days...

As of 2012 this by-blow of Jeb Bush will be 36. Barely legal for the presidency. To date he has accomplished being a lawyer and a real estate developer, trading on the family name and fortune. He is also a naval reserve officer, apparently scheduled to be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan (who knew there was a coast in Afghanistan)

While this whippersnapper may have some political legs down the road, given his family connections, he has about as much chance of being elected president in 2012 as Wiseguy, oscargamblesfro, Ridgewalker, magellan or Victor. Maybe less.

Yes I think I would vote for him for President and I would support him as even a Vice-President. If he does become a candidate in the 2011/2012 campaign. I will listen to him very carefully. The Republicans need to re-gain seats in the House in 2010 and they need to find a superior candidate that will lead the GOP, if we want to get Obama out of office in 2012.
Jeb Bush is the former Governor of Florida. His father George H. W. Bush was the 41rst President of the USA. His brother, George W. Bush was the 43rd President of the United States. They hope that Jeb's son, George Prescott Bush might run for an office in the future.
Jeb Bush has said in the past he does not want to be President of the USA and recently (as of this writing) has decided not to campaign for Senator in 2010.

He has been an excellent supporter and speaker at the Republican National Coventions and supported his father, Jeb Bush (former Governor of Florida) and supported his uncle George W. Bush (43rd President) and grandfather, George H. W. Bush (41rst President). They say around the house, the George's are known as "41", "43" and "47". They hope that George P. might want to run for an office. Currently he is serving an 8-year term in the Navy Reserve he signed to in 2007. Born in Florida, he is Latino from his mother's side. At the GOP Conventions he is able to get the Republican Latinos to listen.
