Jeb Bush

In which I attempt to read the tea leaves on the next chapter in the GOP's assault on public schools:

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will headline an April 30 fundraiser for Republican gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory at the Angus Barn in Raleigh, the McCrory campaign confirmed today. Gov. Bush is one of the reform experts in the country on education and Pat's been in touch with him on that subject,” Nick said.

Before I continue, an observation: Too often NC Democrats assume a posture of "waiting to see" what Republicans will do, which also leads to "reacting". And reacting poorly, more often than not. There are forces at work here that thrive on that lack of proactivity, and that posture must change. Climbing back down from my high horse:

Head of the Bush Crime Family President H.W. Bush today revealed his hope that son Jeb will continue the dynasty eventually ascend to the Presidency. Yea!

The elder Bush also reports he spoke with Barack Obama soon after the election and "assured him that he was my president." No word on whether Obama expressed relief.
