Republicans have long struggled to catch-up to Democrats on high-tech voter outreach as well as courting younger voters. Jeb Bush may have found a way to kill two birds with one stone.

Last week Czahor developed the microsite jebspeech.com, which accompanied Bush’s address to the Detroit Economic Club domain registration records show.

Right to Rise? Jebspeech?....sounds like Jebspeak.

Good luck with that, Jebbie!

I got dizzy looking at that site. Here’s the email address in case anyone’s interested in applying for a position, you know with large attachments and such: “Email your resume to info@righttorisepac.org

I wonder if his Right to Rise site uses a clinched fist in the air, as it’s logo.

“Right to rise”

Reminds me of an off-color piece of doggerell but I’ll spare you Jane, even if JEB won’t.

There are lots of brilliant people in high tech.
There are also LOTS of scam artists floating useless technology.

Anyone care to bet which side of the fence this guy is on?

The Romney campaign was scammed by some libs that developed a GOTV app that didn't work. The creators basically disappeared after the 2012 elections, probably chortling up their sleeves at what a bunch of rubes the Romney group were.

The guy who wrote this seems to be in the 4th grade and needs an editor. One would hope that an editor would encourage little Zeke, for example, to rewrite the sentence that refers to Linked In. Was it Jeb’s page, or was it the hipster guy’s page that brought the news of this new relationship?

Funny.....I just happen to come across this last night. My initial reaction is that if the Left already has its claws out for this guy, he must be doing something right. That being said, I’ll vote Third party if Jeb is the nominee.
