On MSNBC now...Steve Kornacki discussing the Bush & Romney "whisper campaigns"

Jeb: Comparing him to Romney is like "comparing an apple to a peanut."

Oh, brother...

Romney expressing "concerns" over Bush's days as an adviser to Lehman Brothers.

Bush implying that he has all of the things you like about Romney and none of the things you don't like.

Er...HUH?

Romney reminds people of that scumbag boss that everyone has had at one time. The one that took all the credit for the good and none of the blame for the bad. The one that tells you one story to your face but another behind your back. He's a living embodiment of Office Space.

There are good reasons why he didn't get elected the last 2 times he ran. I suspect he attributes the losses to various circumstances, when actually he is a deeply flawed candidate before he even opens his mouth. He only got the nomination last time because he was the only candidate that wasn't insane.

It is the height of arrogance to keep running. His ego is monstrously big.

Remember South Carolina in 2000 and the Romney attack ads on Newt, Perry, and Santorum? This will be a nasty fight. Bush has already released his tax returns in a move to attack romney
