The thing about Jeb is, he'd be far-and-away the best pick, if it wasn't for his last name.
Jeb would never have become governor of Florida in the first place if it weren't for his last name.
Do you mean the time he lost in Florida as well? Or just the times that he won? He's not popular in Florida?
I'm saying that it's pointless to rue Jeb Bush being held back by his last name when he rode that wave up to his current position. He's got some skills but he never would have risen to the GOP nomination in '94 and '98 if it weren't for his father's 30 years in politics. Live by the family name, die by it.
