Share

July 03, 2008 9:10 AM

ABC News' Bret Hovell Reports: Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will join presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain in Mexico City Thursday morning on the last day of McCain's three-day visit to Latin America.

Gov. Bush was in Mexico City on business and wanted to spend time with the candidate. He will not spend the day with Sen. McCain, R-Ariz., who has several other events today, including a media availability this afternoon.

Gov. Bush's name has been floated in Republican veepstakes chatter. On Good Morning America Wednesday, however, McCain pushed back on any talk of his vice presidential pick.

Is McCain gonna Pick Ol'Jeb Bush for VP?

If he ain't gonna pick Willard "Mitt" Romney, aka Mittens for VP, I can't think of a better fellow for the job.

Pick Jeb John, Pick Jeb.

Jeb is beloved in Florida, good choice.

Maybe Barack can travel around with good friends Tony Rezko or Bill Ayers.

The Bush folks need to go away. They have caused enough damage already.

JEB didn't fix the election. Florida democrats were to stupid to figure out how to vote on a punch hole ballot. Plus, even when the AP recounted all the votes, instead of only the 4 most democratic counties (Al Gore), they came to the conclusion that Bush had indeed won the state. Get over it you democratic whiners.

Kevin is Right.

Jo is Right.

America longs for another Bush to vote for or against. McCain should like totally put Jeb on the Ticket. Either Jeb or Mittens I'd say.

Bush won. It's not his fault that Florida democras are too stupid to read a ballot. So you lose on that one..again.

Yes, the Bush's have done so much damage. I'm so ready for an attack on US soil since 9/11. It's been way too long. What is Bush thinking? He protects this country waaaay too much.

The Bush scab is too thick to pick!

Who says I want Jeb for VP? I say it's good for Floridians to see McCain with their beloved Jeb. VP no.

Obama/Rezko '08

Two peas in a pod.

Odd and easily avoided mistake - a gratuitous hook-up with a Bush. Sometimes I wonder about this Republican nominee.

When is Chelsea going to join the ranks. We need more Bush and Clinton. No one else is capable of leading us.

Jo - Intelligence gathering to avoid an attack is one thing. War with Iraq is a completely different issue. Iraq was a huge mistake for every reason including economic. Bush screwed us over. Don't be a republican stooge.

Posted by: Ben Straub | Jul 3, 2008 1:57:26 PM

That would be a hugh mistake for Mccain. That would be the one thing that would bring the democrats together.

Posted by: FL voter | Jul 3, 2008 2:57:49 PM

Another reason NOT to vote for McCain. This gets better everyday.

OBAMA,,TEXAS we love you-only if you choose HILLARY as your vp...Pls don,t be a fool and put MCcane in the whitehouse by choosing the wrong v.p,

It's not too late for the delegates to vote for Hillary at the convention!

McCain is in Latin America, because those countries matter just as much as any other part of the world for foreign relationships. They may matter even more in a strategic and trade way. Good neighbors talk and help each other. Jeb is a Republican, but even he is more experienced than Obama. The fact that two Republicans are in Mexico at the same time shows that they are busy building relationships with our neighbors to the south. At least they are not down there backpedaling for the umpteenth time on how quickly we can get our troops out of Iraq.
