Marco is a protege of Jeb and his business and political partner, Al Cardenas.
They are singlehandedly working to destroy Charlie Crist. If Charlie is smart, he will go back to the Governor’s race and stay there.
I have another suspicion out there, only a hunch. Mittens Romney is a stalking horse for the Bush Familia. Mitt’s refusal to attend the Southern Republican Leadership Conference is a huge signal that he can’t beat Palin in a stand-up fight. However, Jeb might be able to do so.
Big brawl a’ comin’. Expect Darth (the Cheney faction) to sign up with Palin. Lots of bad blood to be spilled.
It’s the old Goldwater Faction vs. the Rockefeller Republicans fight to happen all over again, with Palin representing the Reaganites and Jeb Bush representing the Establishment (the “safe pair of hands” conservative). Trust me: I can already see this line of attack beginning to form up. I was just wondering how the Bushes were going to shove Romney out of the way.
The problem for the establishment? The bad blood between Movement Conservatives and the Bush family. They’ve led the Republican Party into a blind alley in two elections.
Best,
Chris
