A brief, straightforward report of what Governor Bush told reporters in Miami about his political aspirations following the end of his term next month. “Bush did not elaborate,” says this anonymous article; but unless one could see the speaker’s face and gauge the tone of his voice, one has doubts whether Bush’s friend, Kansas Sen.

This is a very terse summary of the Jeb Bush's supposed "swan song" on politics, as well as specualtion by Sam Brownback.
