Jeb Bush: la solution pour les républicains en 2012?


Les autorités du G.O.P. ne se satisfont pas des candidats actuels. Faut0il s'en étonner?

"There's no doubt some Republicans remain unhappy with the GOP presidential field. They wish other candidates -- Mitch Daniels, Chris Christie, Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush -- had entered a long time ago. But the Iowa caucuses are in two weeks. Is there any chance, at this late date, that something could change?

All the alternative candidates have repeatedly said they won't run. But there is new speculation focusing on Bush after the former Florida governor turned heads Monday morning when he wrote, in the Wall Street Journal, a campaign-like economic manifesto headlined "Capitalism and the Right to Rise."

Starting off with a good word for House Budget Committee chairman Ryan -- never a bad move for a GOP hopeful -- Bush called for the removal of burdensome and intrusive government regulations on business. "We have to make it easier for people to do the things that allow them to rise," Bush wrote. "We need to let people take risks. We need to let people fail. We need to let people suffer the consequences of bad decisions. And we need to let people enjoy the fruits of good decisions, even good luck. That is what economic freedom looks like."

It could be that Bush just had something to say. It could be that he specifically wanted to influence the ongoing Republican economic conversation. Or it could be something more.

Hours after the op-ed appeared, Rush Limbaugh discussed it on his radio program. Praising the article -- "I swear, I could have written this" -- Limbaugh saw it as a possible trial balloon for a Jeb Bush run. Noting that Wall Street Journal editorial board member Stephen Moore appeared on Fox News Monday morning and expressed hope Bush would run, Limbaugh concluded, "So you might say, now, that a wing of the Republican establishment [the Wall Street Journal] is floating a trial balloon for Jeb Bush.""
