Just in case there any lingering speculation, Jeb Bush says he is not interested in a caretaker Senate seat.
"As Gov. Bush indicated earlier this year when he decided against a run for the U.S. Senate, now is not the right time for him to return to public office. In response to your question, Gov. Bush is not interested in serving out the remainder of Sen. Martinez’s term," says spokeswoman Kristy Campbell.

There IS a right time for JEB to return to office.

Why would Jeb take a temporary job previously held by his pocket change?
Megalomania requires what seems to be direct inertia toward the ultimate goal.

True notnow but in January of '11 would be good timing.

Kind of sad, really.

Jeb will NEVER get elected. The only place he will ever get the votes, and win, is if the religious extremist moved to their own island somewhere. Gee, I wish they would.

The recent poll numbers show that
Gov.Jeb Bush would beat both the Republican and Democrat candidates for governor of FL in '10. He'd be unstoppable in '16 for the White House.

I keep telling you - he isn't interested in anything other than Emperor.

Thank GOD! I am Bushed-OUT after the last devastating years under idiot W. AM tired of ole lady Bush who said the poor in Katrina will get over their loss because they ''didn't have much to begin with'. I'm sick of W Senior and his "New World Order'.
All make me sick.. AND they should all of YOU!
Obama is a puppet for the CFR also. I am already sick of him.

Yeah, like Governor Crist would ever actually appoint him anyway.

Kristy should revise her statement to read, "it will never be the right time for anyone with the last name of Bush to enter or re-enter public office." It would have been much more comforting.

If a majority of people agree with you, Bush won't win - no worries.
