    Jeb Bush Says No To Senate Run

    Posted:
    01/6/09
    Even though he was endorsed by a former president (George H.W. Bush), Jeb Bush has announced he won't be running for Senate in Florida in 2010. Bush said he wants to continue building his real estate business and devote more time to his family.

    I'm sure GOP officials are disappointed by the news. Jeb would have been an instant front-runner to take over Mel Martinez's seat, which will be empty in two years. Now it's likely to be a crowded primary field.
    "After thoughtful consideration, I have decided not to run for the United States Senate in 2010," said Bush. "While the opportunity to serve my state and country during these turbulent and dynamic times is compelling, now is not the right time to return to elected office."
    Why do I get the feeling that 2012 might be the right time for Jeb to return to elected office?
