The Buzz: Florida politics

"...

JEB-Q: Jeb Bush is featured in the new issue of GQ, which examines "why Jeb Bush can't run for president." The magazine says that "some Florida Republicans now fear that their party has moved so far to the right that a loss of power is inevitable" and offers a few sample quotes:

Republican state Sen. Mike Bennett of Bradenton: "The main reason the Republicans are going to lose control is because absolute power has let us move to the right. We're moving further and further off to the right, and we are going to lose the majority. First we are going to lose the Democrats who voted Republican, and then we will start losing Republicans. When you've got the power to push anything through, and there's nothing they can do about it, I think that's bad."

Democratic state Rep. Chris Smith of Fort Lauderdale on the governor's staff: "We call them Kool-Aid drinkers. They're these Republican youth - radical kids from the University of Florida, Florida State or the University of South Florida - that just want to come up and make a name for themselves. There is not enough white hair in his office."

My worst fear is Jeb in 8 years, not now, letting the Dems come in,
inevitably having to raise taxes to pay for things, then they come back with Jeb then and finish us off...they are patient.

Theydon't need to win now.

Be careful of Jeb running for Senate though...be very afraid
