Pimp: Miami Herald Takes Swipe At Birthers In Puff Piece On Jeb Bush's 2016 Exploration
Birther Report

Excerpt:
When a left leaning newspaper like Miami Herald pimps former Florida Governor Jeb Bush one should take pause. Funny how these "news" media outlets treat the birther issue as if it is a fringe issue when just about every poll conducted on the issue shows it is not a fringe issue like they portray. Such a shame!
Excerpt via Miami Herald:
Doing the right thing these days for some is not worth losing their cushy positions... A sad state of affairs....

Jeb Bush, on the brink
Former Gov. Jeb Bush all but formally announced last week that he will enter the 2016 presidential race, fixing Florida ever more firmly in the center of the quadrennial political drama and — more important — ensuring that a pragmatic, experienced conservative will be heard.
Mr. Bush’s decision to step into the fray came in a statement that he would “actively explore” a 2016 presidential run, a preliminary step toward a formal declaration. The dramatic developments involving the restoration of full diplomatic ties between the United States and Cuba overshadowed Mr. Bush’s decision, yet it has a dramatic dimension of its own.
Most significant is Mr. Bush’s prominent role in the race at this admittedly early stage. Simply by announcing, he became the most serious presidential candidate from Florida in recent memory, perhaps ever. Former Govs. Bob Graham and the late Reubin Askew also waged embryonic presidential campaigns, but they never gained the traction that Mr. Bush enjoys today even though he is still weighing the odds.
A McClatchy-Marist poll last week found that the former Florida governor is a close second in the Republican field behind former GOP nominee Mitt Romney, who has yet to make his own decision. Mr. Romney has hinted that he might stay out if Mr. Bush made the race. Either way, Mr. Bush is poised to become the leader of the pack once all candidates make their own choices.
Florida hardly needs more political attention in a presidential election race. It has a perennial claim on being the biggest toss-up state in the country, and it’s also a primary battleground that has put an end to the hopes of more than one early frontrunner, going back decades. Remember Rudy Giuliani (2008)? Or, for those with long memories, the late Democrat Scoop Jackson (1972)?
As a favorite son, Mr. Bush would be the automatic frontrunner in a Sunshine State primary. And what the 61-year-old former governor brings to the race is a badly needed, serious approach to politics, an antidote to the embarrassment created by the birthers, deporters and moat-builders of recent campaigns.
Mr. Bush has already signaled that he’s not going to make Mr. Romney’s 2012 mistake of appeasing right-wing extremists in the primaries at the expense of painting himself into an ideological corner in the general election, should he become a candidate. - [...] Continued @ Miami Herald.
