Jeb?

Stranger things have happened in politics:

This probably isn't the first time you've heard someone ask if Jeb Bush is going to run for president. It won't be the last.

Political dynasties don't just die off, especially when they control the presidency for 12 of 22 years and have in their depth chart the extremely popular former governor of a key swing state.

Some political observers say by all rights, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush should be running for president. He has strong conservative credentials, an impeccable political pedigree, can appeal to the all-important Hispanic population, and could do well in his home state, which is populous, up for grabs, and often decides general elections.

But if you go to his website, jeb.org, there is a blank page. Is it waiting to be filled with a platform? Or is it left over from older ambitions?

No doubt the Bush brand is damaged. When Jeb's brother George W. left office in 2009, fewer than three in ten Americans approved of his presidency.

But there is hope among Republicans that stigma is beginning to fade.

I agree that George W's presidency is looking better every day, but the last name 'Bush' is going to be hard to overcome no matter how good Jeb is. He was a solid governor in Florida, a good communicator, solid conservative, and would make a great president.

Except for that last name. I think it could be a deal killer with many voters.

But, you never know, so I guess I'll start a "Jeb Bush" label on the site.
