Jeb Bush Robocalls

Radio Iowa reports there have been robocalls in the state asking which Republican candidate do they prefer for the 2012 presidential race. The candidates were Michael Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, Newt Gingrich and Jeb Bush. The next question of the survey asked about President Barack Obama.

Next, the survey asked a question about Obama. She described it this way:"That particular question was (somewhat) as follows, 'Which one of the following phrases best describes President Obama? For good leader, press 1; for good President, press 2; for too party-centric, press 3; for too liberal, press 4; for Socialist, press 5; for bad President, press 6; for undecided, press 7'"

Obviously, with the way the questions were framed, the automated calls are sponsored by a Republican group. The question is if someone is putting a feeler out for Jeb Bush. The last name kills Jeb but the other potential candidates are weak. The poll didn't mention Mitt Romney or Tim Pawlenty. They would poise a more formable challenge to Bush. Gingrich and Jindal are unlikely to run. Palin is damaged. Huckabee is too socially conservative and a poor fundraiser.

As shocking as it may sound: Jeb has a good chance beating the rest of the pack. Jindal, Palin, Romney, and Gingrich can't articulate on a national stage. Jeb can speak is is disciplined. A trait John McCain lacked. The party base loves Jeb. There is no reason he can't get the nomination.

Anybody out there know who is sponsoring the robocalls?
