Not according to Damon Linker at The Week who proclaims: Republicans are realizing that Jeb Bush is their only option in 2016. He is speaking of those Republicans that matter, of course. Even neocon godfather Bill Kristol has given Jeb his inverse seal of approval by slyly stating that there is "no way" Jeb will face Hillary in 2016, and he even offered to buy Joe Scarborough and his TV crew dinner in New York (which he concedes is expensive) if Jeb is the nominee. Kristol would gladly buy every employee at MSNBC dinner and drinks at the Four Seasons if that would guarantee Jeb the White House. England's Daily Mail is onboard with a checklist of indicators to show that Jeb is going about making plans for a run. The US News and World Report hails Jeb as "the new compassionate conservative."
There is one clear indicator that Jeb is indeed seriously mulling a run: he is planning to meet privately with Russell Moore, head of the public policy organization of the Southern Baptist Convention.
