From Rasmussen Reports

Seventy-eight percent (78%) of Florida voters say former Governor Jeb Bush is likely to run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Mel Martinez in 2010.
Jeb Bush is viewed favorably by 60% of Florida voters, including 39% with a Very Favorable opinion.
Eighty-four percent (84%) of Republicans believe he'll run along with 79% of Democrats.

» Commentary by Kris Lazaro (registered Democrat)

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush may tip his hat in the upcoming Senate elections in 2010, perhaps wanting to change the way Americans view 'Bushism'. According to the residents of the great state of Florida, they believe their popular former governor will run for the U.S. senate to be vacated by Mel Martinez in about 1 year. This move is perhaps motivated by political factors and a way to serve the American people.

Surprisingly, the residents of Florida have a majority favorable opinion of Bush (even though he likely stole the elections in 2000 for his brother, George W.). Nonetheless, this author thinks this is a great move for Jeb. He now has a chance to improve the Bush name and also has the opportunity to show that not all Bushes are 'bad'.

If Bush does not decide to run, current governor Charlie Crist may decide to run.
