I wonder how my brother Richard in Connecticut would view a McCain-Bush (Jeb) ticket in light of his crazy "keys"?
That would be John and Jeb, of course ... but in complete alignment with the above photo that showed the possibility that Karl Rove may yet get his wish for a generally Neocon ticket.
And that is exactly why Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the president's brother, could be the Neocon's answer to a prayer. Jeb Bush has carefully stayed out of the 2008 Presidential race--but that does not rule him out as a vice presidential candidate.
If McCain won, Jeb could be "anointed" to the No. 2 post with a possible "president" who will turn 72 on Aug. 29, 2008, and possibly only serve a single term. Even if McCain lost to, say, Hillary, Jeb would have enhanced national recognition for a run in 2012.
But just thinking for today, and not a year from now, McCain--who is still very close to the party's neoconservative wing--has been pretty consistent in defending the president's decision to go to war, despite his stated doubts about prewar planning and mistakes early in the occupation.
Who knows? But I certainly can't help but notice who's #1 in the Rasmussen daily Polls these days.
And wouldn't a situation like a previous President's wife running against the President's brother (albeit in the #2 spot on the ticket) put the "Keys to the White House" into a cocked hat?
