Let's not forget Jeb for VP. He wants it bad.

The 'brilliant" one tells us that after a week of negative ads from Romney directed at Obama, we, the people, need to worry that Obama will get real negative in this campaign. LMAO! The only people that believe their nonsense are the ones that drink the koolaid produced by the GOP.

Jeb Warns Newsmax: Get Ready For 'Most Negative Campaign' Ever

Americans are facing what will likely be the “most negative campaign in modern times” over the next six months, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush tells Newsmax, and Mitt Romney must brace himself for tough personal attacks from President Barack Obama.

Bush, the former two-term governor of the Sunshine State, also said in an exclusive Newsmax.TV interview that he hopes Romney — as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee — will invite Florida’s charismatic first-term Sen. Marco Rubio to become his running mate. That may be the key to Republicans defeating Obama in November, he says.

“There will be so much negativity and so many personal attacks against Gov. Romney. That’s already been telegraphed that that’s going to happen,” Bush declared in an exclusive interview from his office near Miami.

“I think Mitt needs to stay above the fray a bit, and to offer a hopeful message that can lift people’s spirits up because after the end of this four or five months of really negative campaigning,” Bush added. “ I think people are going to be motivated by a more positive message.”

Bush called Rubio “probably the best” candidate for vice president on a list that likely includes himself — the son of former President George H.W. Bush, and the brother of former President George W. Bush.

“Well I can’t speak for Gov. Romney, and I can’t speak for Sen. Rubio, but if I was on both sides of that conversation I would ask — and I would hope that Marco would accept,” Bush said. “There’s a lot of things in between that may not make that happen, but I am a great admirer of Mitt Romney’s and I’m a huge fan of Marco Rubio’s, and I think the combination would be extraordinary.”

With respect to his own response to such a call from Romney, Bush acknowledged, “Well I’d consider it, but I doubt I’ll get a call, and I don’t know if it’s the right thing for me to do. I didn’t run for president for a similar kind of reason, so I’m all in to try to help him get elected.”

Bush's short list of top-tier vice presidential candidates he thinks Mitt
Romney should consider includes Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels.

This is the guy who almost had his house go into foreclosure because he didn't bother to pay the mortgage. Can't wait.
