Hillary is going to run for the office of the presidency at the precise moment the country has been exhausted and disillusioned by Obama. Hillary's campaign will be based on her serving out Obama's third term. Good luck with that.

Isn't it time to get some "young blood" into the race and pension off the dinosaurs?

Hillary is 65, Jeb Bush 61.

Not much difference there.


I'm not bothered so much by their ages as I am by their desire to get us further involved in foreign affairs rather than in fixing up the infrastructure as our Founders demanded. So yes, new blood is needed. But more importantly, new thinking is more significant.

Is Jeb a serious contender? Even he is nudging the "best before date". I was thinking of people in their 40s.

So far his is the one name I've heard from Republicans on local radio. The others such as Rand Paul, Christie, Ryan, and Cruz have all largely been discredited by their unwise words. All too often Republicans speak without thinking and this gets them in trouble. Up to now Jeb Bush has been very cautious in his choice of words and hints as to the directions he plans on taking. This is why local Republicans view him more favorably than the others.

Well, he was in charge of Fla. for awhile and has experienced advisers in the family. Mind you Old George is past 90 now, so I wouldn't want to guarantee his faculties.

And reported by a pro business website. No editorial objection is made nor is any information provided that even attempts to impeach the findings made in that Wall Street survey. On that basis the survey should have considerable credibility to Republicans and others whose politics favor big business.

The state of Florida is critical to anyone running for the White House and it can easily turn the tide in an election victory (whether real or rigged) as in 2000. Republicans desperately want that state and that is why Governor Scott is doing all he can to insure access to polls are limited to election day. In the past Bush won the majority of Florida's Hispanic votes. However, there has been a change in the composition of the Hispanic voters there. Whereas Cubans were largely Republican in the past, the state has seen a large influx of Central/South/Caribbean Latinos most of whom vote Democrat. Scott has now changed his views on immigration reform and he will do all he can to court the Latino vote in the 2016 election for his party. Bush may well be a VP candidate in 2016 as part of the GOP's southern strategy. It will be an interesting election.

jeesh, with 300 million people in a country, it is amazing to me that they can't seem to look
away from the bushs and the clintons.

for ch**st sake wouldn't it be rather refreshing and healthy for the country if the next election
and future elections could vote in someone 'ELSE'???, this is ridiculous.

don't people there have any vision for the future of the country, there has to be many people who
are very capable and could become the next president, from both parties.

this has become boring and looks like a little country club, with two families taking turns, so
thankfully obama won the last election, how refreshing, so it would be nice now if both parties
moved on from there, and left the bush name and the clinton name in the past, and show us
something new.

Why are congressional democrats the ones that want to save the Import Export Bank ?
Securing loans for the top 600 or so American Corporations . Democrats = Crony Capitalism .
