Dubya wrecked the Bush brand for future presidencies from that family. I don't think anyone should really consider ol' Jeb a serious contender for the oval office; I think it is more likely the GOP might be looking at his son, George P. Bush down the road. And seriously - can you imagine the anti-immigrant right supporting a Mexican first lady in the White House? (Jeb's wife Columba is from Mexico.) The right might, just maybe, be able to accept a half-Latino, if the other half is 'white enough', in the case of George P.; but I don't know if that 'P' is difference enough to outweigh the rest of that name George Bush.
I think that IF she runs, Hilary will need a west coast VP candidate for her ticket; in the vein of popular versus unpopular family legacies, I think she should consider Maria Shriver as a VP. Cory Booker would be another great choice, but that would make the ticket a little too east-coast heavy......
Guess the remarkable success of 'President Bubba', combined with her remarkable success as Sec State is showing Hillary as awfully popular, and given this popularity, that must include among the right and center.

It's of course early days yet, and a lot could happen between now and November 2016, but for now these are happy days... and we could be looking at the first woman in the White House. Is it a political dynasty, if a family taking office doesn't encompass more than one generation?
