Senator Bush?

CQ Politics:
The Tampa Tribune reports that former Gov. Jeb Bush is leaning toward seeking the Republican Senate nomination in 2010. Friends and political associates say Bush has been deluged by Republicans urging him to run, including his brother President George W. Bush. At a White House Christmas party Thursday, “the president was just effusively promoting it to all the Floridians, and so was Laura,” said accountant and GOP financial consultant Nancy Watkins of Tampa. “He was saying, ‘We’ve gotta get Jeb going for the Senate’.” The seat came open when GOP Sen. Mel Martinez said he wouldn’t seek a second term.
