Jeb Bush will pick _____??____for his VP

[misterhighwasted]

I cant seem to think of anyone who he may be close enough with to choose.
Any serious suggestions?

[madinmaryland]

1. Dick Cheney?

[misterhighwasted]

2. Ohhh noooo! Bush/Cheney..and Hillary will pick Tipper

[Marie Marie]

13. No not quite.

Jeb will ask Cheney to look over possible VP candidates and Cheney will pick himself. Sorry, the thought of another Bush for President just brings back a flood of bad memories.

[elias49]

3. Rubio nt

[misterhighwasted]

7. ugh..they are all dumb as dirt

And evil

[exboyfil]

8. So who will give up Florida citizenship?

in the shameless way that Cheney did in 2000. From the moment he was put in charge of the committee to select Bush's VP running mate, it has been one sleazy thing after another.

[wildbilln864]

4. Christie or RMoney. n/t

[HeiressofBickworth]

5. Eric Cantor

He's not employed at this time and he appeals to the crazies. Jebbie can then pretend that he isn't one of the crazies in order to lull the independents and rip off their votes.

[misterhighwasted]

6. . VP Cantor. We'd have to see that smug snarling face

I cannot even imagine the size of his bloated ego, if that is Jebs pick.

[Action_Patrol]

15. He's VERY employed

[HeiressofBickworth]

20. Silly me -- I should have known

he would be out chasing the big bucks. I'm sure his "employer" would cut him some slack so he could campaign -- after all, think of the perks they would get if he was elected VP! One hand washes the other, as they say.

9. Susana Martinez, governor of NM will be on any 2016 GOPers short list.

I don't know much about her, other than she is a Hispanic female governor. Especially if Hillary is the nominee, I think it is a safe bet that Republicans won't nominate two white guys.

[davidpdx]

22. Yes and the GOP will have to do something to make it look like they are appeasing Hispanic

voters to get them to vote for them. There are probably a few others they could choose from as well, but Martinez might put some of the western states in play.

[Warpy]

27. I agree. She's been cagey enough to keep her trap shut

but she still won re election with a low margin I didn't expect at all.

She's also going to be out of office for good in 2018, so running for VP in 2016 would look really good for her--and get her out of our hair.

People call her Susana la Tejana because she's a Texas transplant. She's also owned by the Kochs, so the national party adores her.

This state likes to change parties in the governor's mansion every 8 years, so unless she wanted to primary Steve Pearce (R-dumb as a stump) out of his Representative chair, she's got nowhere to go. Both Democratic Senators and the other two Representatives are solidly popular here and I doubt she'd be able to unseat either one of them.

So if they ask her, I'm sure she'll have her bags pre packed.

[Laffy Kat]

29. Good thinking. nt

[Boreal]

37. She's the first one I thought, too

And with Jeb's wife being Mexican and whole family being fluent in Spanish, I think that ticket would be very well received among Hispanic Americans.

[exboyfil]

10. My guess would be Nikki Haley

[99th_Monkey]

11. John Brennan nt

[AnnieBW]

12. Sarah Palin!

We can only hope.

[Takket]

14. Fingers crossed!!!

[stevenleser]

16. Jeb doesn't have a prayer of getting the nom. Nt

[Jackpine Radical]

21. Why?

Actually, I think he has a pretty good chance; the MIC & Wall St. ought to love him, he can make inroads on the Hispanic vote, & can pull in the big money as well as anyone. The multinationals aren't gonna let any teabagger anywhere near the nomination, just like last time.

[Reter]

17. It would have to be a tea party nutcase, because he is well to the left of the Party

Ted Cruz maybe? Rand Paul couldn't be trusted because he hates neo-cons.

[Brother Buzz]

18. Karen Hughes

Seriously, Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina would have been on the short list had they won their respective elections.

[Luminous Animal]

19. Me! Me! Pick ME!

[TheNutcracker]

23. Cynthia Henderson?????

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=121679

Jeb Bush denies affair with Cynthia Henderson

[madamesilverspurs]

24. Virginia Foxx

The bumper stickers would be a riot . . .

[olddots]

25. he should pick his nose

Shave his ass and walk on his hands

[Anansi1171]

26. Rand Paul

[yortsed snacilbuper]

28. Mitt,

of course!

[SheilaT]

30. I didn't realize he'd already locked up the nomination!

How cool is that, nearly two years before the election!

[Jamastiene]

36. The Bush's have always had special treatment.

All Georgie had to do was whine to the SCOTUS, "Meh, I want to be president." and they stopped the vote counting to make it happen. This Bush will be no different. They ALWAYS get their way. I wouldn't doubt if their entire plan for the 2016 presidential election isn't in place, disenfranchising, cheating and all.

[lunasun]

31. Marco Rubio

[hibbing]

32. A wealthy white male

[Basic LA]

33. Louie Gohmert

He needs the Bubba vote.

[Man from Pickens]

34. No one

Hype aside, I really can't see Jeb winning the nomination. I don't at all believe the polls that say he's the front-runner, given that his support was so low as to be difficult to measure before he suddenly started polling 15%+ out of nowhere.

[Boreal]

38. IMHO

It's all rigged and predetermined, in both parties. Jeb has been selected and that's that. He's going to be the next CEO of the Hegemon.

[Jamastiene]

35. If he picks Sarah Palin, I'm going to know we are in Hell then.

I just hope he does not, but I wouldn't put it past him.

[DrDan]

39. someone from or near the teaparty - he needs to energize those voters to vote for him

[Trailrider1951]

40. Condi maybe?

Oh yes she wants to be VP.

[PADemD]

41. Cathy McMorris Rodgers

Alma Mater - Pensacola Christian College, U of Washington at Seattle

Religion - Evangelicalism

[Orsino]

42. "Whomever he's told to pick" n/t

[wheniwasincongress]

43. Are Jeb and Mitt going to duke it out?

I can't wait

[GoCubsGo]

44. Nobody.

I doubt he'll even win the nomination.
