Re: How do you rate Jeb Bush's efforts to save Terri?
Your poll is worthy though!! 
Who here, in their right mind would vote for someone OTHER than Jeb Bush if he entered the ' 08 race??? Which politician has faught longer and harder than Jeb??
Oh, yeah, Tom Delay?? Yeah, Tom "snowball's chance in hell in ' 08" Delay??? The only one hated more by the left than Bush is Tom Delay!!
Guilliani?? No. McCain?? No. Anyone?? Bueller?? Bueller??

Delay's support of Terri is second to none. However, the left is trying (and apparently succeeding) in turning Delay into the Newt Gingrich/Dan Quayle of the 21th century.

failure was a good way to get spanked by my dad when I was a kid, so I learned not to.

Lets rate the Catholic Bishops of America on how well they fought this fight.

They're after him for things that have nothing to do with Mrs. Schiavo.

I think he did everything within his power and I would give him very serious consideration...

Re: How do you rate Jeb Bush's efforts to save Terri?
Gov. Bush devoted much time, personal effort, concern and political capital to this issue. He pushed the Fla. legislature to enact a law specifically for this situation and examined his options to the end. I am grateful he didn't exceed the law, but worked within it. Though the short-comings of our legal system, in part, failed to protect Terri's life, he has demonstrated that focus, attention and persistence can change "the system." 'We the people' have learned we no longer have the "luxury" of trusting our politicians to look after our best interests and need to be informed and make our opinions heard on issues which effect our very lives and the lives of those we love.

Yes indeed. BTW Fox pointed out that Gov Bush made condolences to the SCHINDLER family and not to Michael.
