WASHINGTON (Reuters) - George Bush, the president's father, would like to see another Bush in the White House someday, saying on Tuesday that he would want his son Jeb to run for president when the timing is right.

Florida Governor Jeb Bush has repeatedly said he does not plan to run for president in 2008, trying to dampen speculation that another Bush could be on the next Republican ticket for the White House.

In an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live," former President Bush said he would want Jeb to run for president "someday," but now was not the time.

"The timing's wrong. The main thing is, he doesn't want to do it. Nobody believes that," Bush said.

But he and wife Barbara both said they believed Jeb, 52, did not want to run in the next presidential race.

Bush said he did not have a favorite candidate for the Republican nomination to succeed his son, President Bush.

Barbara Bush said she believed Senator and former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton would be the Democratic nominee in the 2008 presidential race. "I'm not going to vote for her, but I'm betting on her," she said.

I'd vote for Jeb. I met him once, and left very impressed. If he is anything like his Father or Brother, he will get my vote.

Pretty appropriate if you ask me. (if you know what the show was all about)

His name is John Ellis Bush, he goes by his initials because he is witty and original. (Actually some staffer probably came up with that when he was running for Gov.)

I met him several times dealing with Martin County and the hurricanes of last year, was very smug and didn't really seem too concerned with all that was going on.

That said, I do like him more than his brother (politically anyway)

Nice trial balloon going up. The Bushes do know how to play the political game. Guess Bush (not Senior as their names are not the same) isn't going to say the same for his son, Neil, though.
