"Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Tuesday announced plans to "actively explore" a presidential campaign," reports the Associated Press.

Should he ultimately decide to run, Bush can tap into his family's vast political network and his campaign would attract strong support from the same donor pool that other establishment-minded Republicans — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie among them — need to fuel their own prospective campaigns.

A Bush candidacy also has the potential to affect the plans of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who came up through Florida politics as a strong Bush supporter and is considering whether to seek re-election to the Senate or run for president in 2016.

Politics1 has compiled a list of dozens of possible contenders, but who do you think would be a strong candidate?
