Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) still says he hasn't decided whether he'll run for president in 2016. But if he does indeed opt to join the race, he told a crowd in Nashville on Tuesday, he'll need to vet his "superhuman skills."

"If it's a 'yes,' I guess you go into the Bat Cave," he said, to try and "parse superhuman skills, which I will definitely need because I'm imperfect in every way."

Over the weekend, The New York Times quoted Bush's son, Jeb Jr., as saying donors and strategists were "getting fired up" about a Bush 2016 bid. Also over the weekend, Bush's eldest son, George P. Bush, told ABC it was "more than likely" Jeb would run.
