Have enough Americans forgiven George W. Bush that they'll vote for his brother for president? Jeb Bush is doing several things that indicate he thinks so — speeches, a book, more speeches... oh, and he just got some potentially embarrassing news out of the way.
The conventional wisdom centers on who might be running. But the reality is that Hillary "Book Deal" Clinton, Rand "New Hampshire" Paul, and Marco "Kindler Gentler" Rubio are already running. Here's the latest look at the field.
After doing five Sunday talk shows to promote his new pre-campaign book, Jeb Bush got tired of being asked if he's going to run for president in 2016.
Jeb Bush shoots down 2016 questions from all six major Sunday talk shows, while also discussing his ever-evolving stance on immigration reform along the way. (Also: crack addicts.) And Paul Ryan discloses his new budget operates under the assumption Obamacare will be repealed.

Because of his last name, Jeb Bush represent the Republican Party's past. But he clearly wants to be seen as its future. Bush needs to look like a serious person, and to do that, he needs to be praised by centrists and bashed by the unserious fringe. This week, Bush has succeeded.
Jeb Bush is setting himself up perfectly to be the savior of the Republican Party in 2016, but first has to rehabilitate the Bush brand, and what's fascinating is that he's doing it by stealing from the playbook of John McCain, his brother's former nemesis.
