What other Republican starts with Florida in their pocket as an automatic - none that i can think of. The 2 southern states that went for Obama can eaisly go back to Bush in '12 - ask gpk
That leaves a Obama / Bush fight over the usual suspects - ohio , pa , indiana , michigan , wisc , neveda , new mexico and possible NH
Scott - tell me why bush can't win if he can win back fl , nc and va and then grab back a few of the other states i mentioned.
What state did mccain take that jeb bush wouldn't win ---- i don't see any

There is zero chance of Jeb Bush in 2012. He would get crushed in every state you mentioned as the usual suspects and would probably lose Missouri as well. It is very questionable whether he would take back Virginia and questionable as to taking back North Carolina. Even states like Montana, Arizona, and the Dakotas would become tossup states.
It would also have the residual effect of costing the Republicans seats in the house and senate by reassociating the party with the name Bush.
