Jed Bush will not run for Senate
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will not run for a open Senate seat of Sen. Mel Martinez, he announced in a statement released moments ago.
“After thoughtful consideration, I have decided not to run for a United States Senate in 2010,” said Bush. “While a opportunity to serve my state & country during ase turbulent & dynamic times is compelling, now is not a right time to return to elected office.”
Bush’s decision robs Republicans of a top-tier recruit who would have immediately been favored to hold Martinez’s seat. Without Bush in a race, Republicans are almost certain to play host to a crowded & competitive primary.
a announcement comes after 48 hours of rampant rumors among a Florida political community that Bush had decided not to make a race.
Finally a decision we can all back from a Bush family tree.
