Jeb Bush for Senate?

With the announcement that Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) will not run again in 2010, the question of who will run has already started.  Will former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush run?  We can only hope so.

Definitely NOT his older brother, Bush has been a man of true conservative principle.  In addition, Bush has polled well with Hispanic voters in Florida – winning a majority of the Hispanic vote in 2002.

Marc Ambinder reports that Bush is pondering a run.  A Bush run will not only help to stop further GOP erosion in the Senate, he would prove to be one more conservative voice in a body that was already lacking conservatives BEFORE the GOP lost control.

Jeb Bush – Don’t Become “Democrat-Lite”

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has some sage words of advice for the GOP -

Gov. Bush is correct.  As someone who stood on firm conservative principles and still won two terms as governor of a “purple” state, Jeb Bush (unlike his older brother) is living proof that a politician can hold to principle and still be successful.

For any Republican interested in winning elections, you should not only read the linked to article, but listen to him as well.  Bush is 100% correct that we need to push policy rather than partisanship; ideas rather than ideology.

For those of you who may believe that true conservatives like Jeb Bush or Mickey Edwards aren’t red enough meat for you – welcome to the wilderness.  It’s going to be a long, cold winter.
