FORMER GOV. JEB BUSH

Jeb Bush's son: 2012 run by dad unlikely

RALEIGH, N.C. -- (AP) -- The eldest son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said in a North Carolina political appearance that he doesn't expect his father to make a run for president in 2012.

George P. Bush made the comments Wednesday at state Republican Party headquarters in Raleigh while in the state on business. He said his father is enjoying the private sector while staying active in conservative causes and education reform.

Jeb Bush left his job as Florida governor in 2007 and has been among a handful of GOP notables mentioned as possible presidential candidates. His son said politics is sometimes all about timing and doesn't think 2012 will be the year.

Jeb Bush's father is former President George H.W. Bush, and his brother is former President George W. Bush.
