“It was a strange question and I guess kind of a head-scratching type of answer.  We’ve got to be a pro-science and pro-technology party."—Jeb Bush, Jr.

    Sorry, Jeb–too late. You’ve been pandering to the Jesus-rode-on-dinosaurs crowd for too long.

    Yes, we agree on something. Unfortunately, the GOP ain’t the one…

    Oh good. Sound like Jeb’s decided not to run in the ’16 GOP primaries. The thought of a third Bush was worrying me. How about, “Third Times the Charm” as a slogan. However, I see no mention of Jeb actually acknowledging an old earth. Just the platitude about science and technology.

    Why? Don’t we already have one of those? Do we really need two of them? Give the voters a real choice, I say.

    Jeb Bush, Jr. is the son of Jeb Bush. IOW, not ex-governor of Florida, but the youngest son of the Jeb you’re thinking of.

    But-But, according to Doug, polititicans HAVE to pander to their base!

    That said, I agree that Jeb has probably decided to pass up on a 2016 run.

    @de stijl: Thanks. Missed the Jr. (Didn’t know there was a Jeb Jr.)

    Didn’t know there was a Jeb Jr.

    Just as a rule of thumb, I tend to be somewhat suspicious of people who give their kids the their name.
