Via Real Clear Politics:

We asked [President George W. Bush]  if a Republican comeback might include his brother Jeb in the United States Senate.

“He would be an awesome U.S. Senator,” the President said.

But does the party need him to run?

“I think the party would benefit a lot by having Jeb Bush in the U.S. Senate,” the President said. “I think Florida would benefit a lot. I think the country would benefit a lot. And I think the Republican Party would benefit a lot. He is a proven leader who, when given responsibilities, succeeded.”

Somehow I think that a Bush — any Bush — arguing that he has a track record of responsibility is going to be a pretty hard sell.
