Andrew Malcolm: Would Jeb Bush vote for Palin vs Obama? 'You betcha!'

*
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was John King's guest on CNN today. Bush said that today's campaign debates could benefit from a little more substance, and he believes the GOP need to adopt a positive agenda in 2012 that is "big and bold and aspiritional." Then, as our friend Andrew Malcolm observes:

King asked Bush a question off of Facebook: "Would he endorse Palin for president if he does not run himself."

Bush's quick reply: "Well, A, I'm not running. And if Sarah Palin is the nominee and she's running against Barack Obama, you betcha."

So, for at least for one party establishment figure, Sarah Palin could be a unifying factor against you-know-who.

We rarely feel compelled to give props to establishment Republicans, but we have to say good for Gov. Bush.
