If Reihan Salam has his way:

The missing candidate, then, is Jeb Bush, a successful two-term governor of a big swing state with sterling conservative credentials, a record of appealing to Latino voters, and the raw brainpower and rhetorical skill to match Barack Obama. . . [F]or Republicans there really is no better candidate.

Short of your own column in the New York Times or a regular stint on the Jim Lehrer show, there is nothing like being published by Tina Brown's Daily Beast to certify your status as one of The Republicans Who Really Matter.

Read my lips: NO MORE BUSHES!
