Jeb Bush steers former advisers toward Romney

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Former Gov. Jeb Bush has no plans to get publicly involved in the Republican presidential primary. Behind the scenes, though, he is steering some of his closest advisers Mitt Romney's way.

And once directed toward the former Massachusetts governor, many are being sold on the underdog candidate, including Bush's hand-picked state party chairman, his former campaign manager and Toni Jennings, the woman Bush chose as his lieutenant governor.

More than 750 people turned out for the event, some arriving 90 minutes early and others forced to sit in an overflow room and watch Romney on television. He received cheers when he backed President Bush's plans for Iraq and called for a secure border with Mexico, then won over the crowd when he quickly responded to criticism of his Mormon faith.

A man ended a rambling five-minute statement by telling Romney: "You, sir, are a pretender. You don't know the Lord. You are a Mormon."

After raucous boos silenced the man, Romney said: "I am convinced the nation does need to have people of different faiths. And we need to have a person of faith leading the country." People leaped to their feet, cheered and whistled.

1. Jeb wants them to nominate a loser so he can run in 2012

he's hoping by then we'll be over our Bushit-fatigue.

2. He'd win either way. If romney were to win, he'd likely bring jebbie in

with him - either overtly as some sort of cabinet or advisor person OR as one of his backstage boys, his "kitchen cabinet" of unofficial but uber-powerful advisors. And that would be utter DEATH for this country. Because jebbie is a signatory of the PNAC, in there shoulder-to-shoulder with cheney, rummy, wolfowitz, gaffney, fukuyama, libby (yes, scooter signed on, too), elliot abrams, and We'd have more of the same in the Middle East and increasingly - outward across the globe from there. The names on the mailbox would change, but the philosophy would remain alive and well - and still dominant.
