Bush would have the edge, but it would be a close election.
Tim Kaine's a solid running mate. He has a good resume, experience with the media and helps in a key swing state. It would be a two white guys ticket against a two white guys ticket. That might leave openings for third-party tickets to get enough of the vote to make a difference, although Jeb should appeal to his brother's socially conservative base, while Rand should get the libertarians.
Just as George W Bush was happy running against the son of a senator, Jeb would be happy running against the son of a governor/ DNC keynote speaker.
Meh. I can't understand the appeal of Tim Kaine. The guy used to be a social conservative -- became chairman of the DNC for supporting Hussein over Hillary, gave a terrible SOTU response to Bush in 05. I'll never get that.
I'd actually be OK with a Bush/Paul ticket. A good balance of Tea Party & compassionate conservatism. The base and the moderates would turn out for it
Impressed you didn't manage to fit "RINO" into this post. Hussein was a nice touch, though.
