This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

If I was Bush 41 I would want to see Jeb as President also. It would be the only chance the Bush family would have to restore respect to the Bush name following Bush 43's shameful 8 year spectacle.
Do I think it will happen?...No way!

They must have another Bush in office to keep the New World Power going... why do you think Bush 1 had so many ties to the middle east? And Bush 2 why is it he has put us to our knees with this war in Iraq? The Bush's Great-Grandfather funded the NAZI Party... how much can we take from this hideous family?
Well we be huddling under another BUSH in eight years? Please, Please let him pick Palin for his running mate.

Matthew Yglesias of Think Progress apparently thinks Poppy will get his wish.
What choice does the GOP have? The last time they captured the White House without a Bush on the ticket was 1972 — eons ago. Without a Bush, they’ve got nothing.
Scary.

Paraphrasing George - The Bush family has destroyed the world enough. We need to recover before another one of my demon seeds can wreck it again. Jeb can't do too much damage as a senator.

Poor Poor Jeb!
He had to call in major political favors to save his younger dumber brother's election in 2000. Pretty soon most of the state of Florida couldn't stand him; they even liked his brother better.
Nixon and Reagan got second chances, so you never ever know what will happen. Besides Republicans keep beating dead horses until they become President.
Timing is everything!

Like father, like son. Neither one of them can accept the negative judgment of history. Bush 41 has been convinced for 16 years that his loss to Clinton was a fluke, and that the true measure of his success was his sky-high poll numbers right after the first Gulf war, before the "victory" turned out to be far less impressive than people had thought. And Bush 43 is convinced that somehow, someday, history will vindicate him. Meanwhile, Poppy is trying to scrub the tarnish off the family name by promoting his other son as a future dynast. Well, sorry. Jeb may be less of a slacker and bully than George, but he was raised by the same disfunctional parents. Americans will truly deserve what they get if they are stupid enough to vote for him.

Michael Franti is the most AMAZING MAN!!!
Genuinely funny, open, Loves children, is handsome and Smart! What else could you ask for from a man?
He has not worn shoes for over eight years, it's a pretty cool story actually. But I recommend this music for all enjoy, he does peace missions around the world, including our troops in Iraq!
When you have the time listen to his lyrics he has pulled together along with Spearhead his band. It is very enlightening to ones soul. And IF he is ever in your town?
GO GO GO GO you will be so Happy you did I take my children ALL the time and they LOVE IT!

Whereas Florida and Texas are pure as the driven snow. Yeah, right. Look, there's no such thing as a politician without some shady associates. The question is whether they were involved in the shady behavior themselves. Jeb Bush was instrumental in "delivering" Florida to baby bro back in 2000, using "any means necessary," from voter suppression and purges of the voting rolls to stopping the vote count by brute force.

Get real. The voter purge was a matter of national news. Katherine Harris's conflict of interest, as Republican campaign chairman AND Secretary of State in Florida, was flagrant and outrageous. The "Brooks Brothers Riot" to stop the vote, orchestrated by the Bush campaign, was one of the most brazenly thuggish interferences with the Democratic process in American history. Jeb's a crook, like the rest of his Family.
