Former President George W. Bush says his brother is fairly likely to run for his old job.

"I'd give it a toss up," Bush said of Jeb's odds of running for president in 2016. "I think it's 50-50," he added.

Bush's assessment was a little less rosy than the one given last weekend by Jeb's son, George P. Bush, who said it was "more than likely" his father would run for president.
