Honestly, I hope not. They are good men but the are progressives to their roots. Any more progressives in the White House and I don't know if we could dig ourselves out. I'm not sure we can now. We've had too many in the last 50 years: Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama (the grand daddy of them all). The only two who weren't since 1960 were Kennedy and Reagan.
That said, I think that the Bushes are good, honest people. Richard is right - you get what you see with them. They have/had their flaws. Bush 41 lost me when raised taxes after making a deal with the Dems (they said they'd cut spending as a compromise - they lied). Bush 43 lost me when his buddy, the US Attorney, prosecuted the two border patrol agents, Campean and Ramos and then refused to commute the sentences until they'd spent a year in solitary confinement (less than 24 hours before he left the presidency) and then stretched it out until March. Even though they were released, they still had supervised probation and fines.
