Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton to discuss education today at Irving conference

IRVING — Their presidential plans may be uncertain but one thing is clear: Jeb Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton keep bumping into each other.

Bush and Clinton were taking the podium Monday at a higher education conference in suburban Dallas organized by Bush, the former Florida governor who is the brother and son of Republican presidents. The former secretary of state, whose husband, Bill Clinton, served two terms in the White House, is the leading Democratic contender in 2016 if she runs for president again.

As both Clinton and Bush weigh their options, the conference offers a bipartisan twist for the two dominant American political families of the late 20th century, both of whom could return to the presidential stage next year.

It is at least the third time in the past year that Bush and Clinton were crossing paths.

[font color=green]I would like to go to the conference, but the article didn't mention the specific site in Irving. Very sloppy reporting by Ken Thomas.[/font]

How do you get close to a family of spooks and war criminals?

It's still a bit odd that they didn't provide a specific location, but I guess that there might be concerns over security?

They had no problem saying where it was being held on the event's website.
