Jeb Again.

You thought I was crazy when I first floated Jeb Bush as the GOP's "true love" candidate for 2008 all the way back in February and then again in August. Didn't you?

Well, I have a companion in craziness: James Carville. Who actually does know a couple of things about politics.

I'm not saying it will happen. I'm just saying that deep in their dark, dark hearts Republicans don't want the closet liberal, or the Mormon, or the lazy old fudd, or the war hero. They want Jeb.

    Yes they do. But next to impossible now unless it really is a deadlocked convention.

    All right-thinking political junkies pray for deadlocked conventions. How cool would that be?

    Who actually does know a couple of things about politics.

    And a whole lot about mean-crazy too.

    All right-thinking political junkies pray for deadlocked conventions. How cool would that be?

    Like having a morphine pump with no lock-out limits on the buttons!

    What's Carville's batting average on political predictions?

    Has Jeb's daughter gotten clean and sober?

    Ruth-Anne:

    I assume in this case Carville's having a little fun, not making a hard prediction. At this point it would require a deadlocked convention.

    I haven't heard about Jeb's daughter lately. Hopefully she's okay.
