And Mitt is unelectable for other well known reasons. Which leaves Jeb whose only real baggage is his relationship to his short-bus brother.
I would actually be nervous Jeb could beat Hilary but will the Steve King wing of the Republicans allow him to take the nomination? I somehow doubt it but it will be entertaining.

The intent was to run Jeb first but he lost to Lawton Chiles.
