Jeb Bush said it straight out: He's not out of the presidential picture.

Speaking on NBC's "Today" show Monday morning, when asked if he plans to throw his hat into the 2016 ring for the White House, the former Florida governor said, "That's way off into the future. I won't [rule it out] but I won't declare today either."

Bush was on the show to promote his book, Immigration Wars: Forging an American Solution." Naturally the interview quickly turned to Republican presidential speculation.

Bush didn't talk about Sen. Marco Rubio's chances, but he did confess great affection for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. "I love the man," he said of Christie.
