Not a great surprise, but Jeb! has decided to pull a no-show at the Republican National Convention next week in NYC, choosing not to be with his brother the President when he is ordained the party's nominee for a second term in office. The Gov has chosen to say at home and leave the leadership duties for the Florida delegation to Lieutenant Gov Toni Jennings.
Jeb!, who is chairing Florida's reelection efforts for his brother, will not be with him when the Prez comes to Miami on Friday. The timing and location of the visit are seen by many as quite interesting, as it could and will be seen as an effort to help the campaign of former HUD Secretary Mel Martinez, whose attempt to win the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat is bogging down behind Congressman Bill McCollum.
Guess I'll step back and watch the Polk County Government TV Channel for the League of Women Voters' forum featuring the candidates for the U.S. Congress from Districts 5 and 12. Should be interesting who shows up.

I'm thinking that Jeb has future political ambitions of his own. The fact is, while I disagree with him on most things, he's the smarter brother.
Anyway, I get the feeling he is sensing doom, and is working to distance himself from his brother. Doesn't want to be tightly linked when he's ready to run his own Presidential campaign.
