Probably among the Bush inner circle he's seen that way, but I think most Republicans themselves aren't so dynastic and there's much more enthusiasm for Frist, whose got a much better personality and fits the outsider profile better than Jeb, among rank-and-file Republicans.

And I doubt Jeb will be the nominee EVER - though he'd like to, it's too dynastic, even for the GOP. He may well try, but I don't think he'll get it.

Besides, Bush is going down, so he'll be a poisoned name. Another reason why Jeb secretly never wanted W as President - it's helped ruin his own chances at being pres.

I could be wrong though. Who knows. You're free to disagree.
