Jeb Bush has no plans to run for president in '12, son says

RALEIGH (Winston-Salem Journal) - The eldest son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said in a North Carolina political appearance yesterday that he does not expect his father to make a run for president in 2012.

George P. Bush made the comments at the N.C. Republican Party headquarters in Raleigh while in North Carolina on business.

He said his father is enjoying the private sector while staying active in conservative causes and education reform.

Jeb Bush left his job as Florida governor in 2007 and has been among a handful of GOP notables mentioned as possible presidential candidates. His son said that politics is sometimes all about timing and does not think 2012 will be the year.

Jeb Bush's father is former President George H.W. Bush, and his brother is former President George W. Bush.
