Jebmania?

In the weeks to come, Bush is expected to declare himself a candidate for president or to officially bow out. Money men need to know, as do candidates crafting messages against one another and, of course, those who influence Mitt Romney. Aides close to the 2012 GOP presidential nominee have already said Romney is not yet confident about the field and could run if Bush decides not to. 

Conservatives are already trying to make the point that Bush would divide the party, due to his past support for comprehensive immigration reform and his endorsement of Common Core education standards. They want someone who can run against presumed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s ingrained insider-incumbency and do not want a race between two political dynasties. Bush would “make it impossible for Republicans to run the kind of campaign they need in 2016,” wrote Ramesh Ponnuru of the National Review this week.
Bush himself is reportedly concerned with the “family business” baggage a Bush v. Clinton race would offer a country so disgusted by politics. Former President George W. Bush said this week of his brother, “I heard him say he doesn’t like the idea of a political class. … The idea of ‘Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Bush’ troubles him, which speaks to his great integrity. I said, ‘Well how’s this sound: Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Clinton?’”
