SP, I don't see Bread as a Republican and I never hear anyone defending W. In fact, his name never comes up at all. And I think Republicans like it that way. I also see Jeb as the most reasonable of the Bush family and probably the most to the left candidate likely to run on the Republican ticket besides maybe Huntsman if he should decide to run. And that is why I don't think Jeb will win in 2016 if he decides to run. He is not conservative enough for the Republicans. I think it will be more like Romney, with Bush running in 2016 and not getting the nomination with the Republicans losing big on the national front and then choosing him to run in 2020 to try to save the national party from another embarrassment. Jeb's interference in the Terry Schiavo case is enough on its own to disqualify him in my book from the presidency but the main reason for a Dem in the white house is the Supreme Court nominations. IMO it was the Naderites in 2000 that gave us W, those that didn't think that Gore was liberal enough and that it didn't matter who really was in the white house. Turned out to be a terrible miscalculation on their part. I see Bread as raising reasonable points of discussion, but then I am also more middle of the road than most here.
