Jeb Bush had nice things to say about all five of the leading Republican presidential candidates.

Rudy Giuliani: “Direct, sees the world the way it is, and he’s direct and he communicates well and he has high energy and tremendous personality.” Fred Thompson: “Committed conservative.” He added that Thompson is “new at the game.” John McCain: “His courage. I was in my bed watching this with my wife and I got out of bed and started cheering,” when McCain mentioned the woodstock line during the last debates. Mitt Romney: “Intellectual curiosity. . .He’s incredibly smart and asks the questions necessary to find that common ground for the next challenges we face, which politics is not very good at right now.”Mike Huckabee: “I like him. He’s a great speaker and clear-minded about the importance of moral principles.”

No word on Jeb’s opinion on RON PAUL RON PAUL RON PAUL.

I think the reason he didn’t mention Paul was because the Texas Congressman has an insufficiently enthusiastic level of grassroots support.
