Would Romney ask Jeb Bush to be his VP?


I saw Jeb Bush musing about his interest in being Romney's VP choice on the panel shows this morning.

I don't think Jeb would have much to lose if asked. If Romney wins, he gets to be VP with a good shot at the top job in eight years. If Romney loses, a more likely scenario, Jeb gets a big leg up for the GOP nomination in 2016.

But I don't think Romney will ask. So far "Bush" has been a four letter word few in the GOP have wanted to utter since before 2008. It will be pretty hard to avoid it if it's actually on all the campaign literature and right up there on the big signs.
