Jeb Bush is was rated as a "moderate conservative" by on the issues.org so he is a medium conservative. Is he Olympia Snowe moderate? No.

Maybe Jeb can take the party back from the religious right. He is friendly with the Hispanic Community and he is married to a latina so those types of things are assets.

He was my pick for being Romney's VP but I don't think that will happen.

I'll be amused when Christine O'Donnell will be considered too moderate for the modern GOP.
What has Christine O' D Donnell ever done? She has lost 2 Senate Races. She had never been in local government. Even her work history is shady. I don't even get how she is even worth a post on this particular thread. I know my post is harsh but it had to be said.

When will the republican party learn? Viewing things in terms of a Bush doesn't get you ANYWHERE except downward.

He's positioning himself for 2016. Voters are moving in the opposite direction from the GOP. The bigger the drift the heavier the defeat.
Voters aren't happy with the Dems either. Just witness the wild swings of 2006, 2008 vs 2010 elections. Maybe as the country becomes more ethnically diverse though(the growing latino population) the swings won't be as bad because minorities tend to like the Dems policies.

She gets a post because she's an example of a nutcase in the current GOP. Feel free to replace with Rick Santorum or somebody.
O'Donnell didn't get elected. There is a reason why. At least Santorum got elected.
