How Jeb Bush blew $4.8 million in New Hampshire
Sun Times ^ | 10/15/15 | CHAD MERDA

Consider this another bad sign for Jeb Bush’s presidential run: Since a mega TV and radio ad buy was launched in New Hampshire his poll numbers have dropped.

A detailed report from Politico outlines how Bush is cutting back after living large on the campaign trail and notes how Bush’s fortunes haven’t been boosted by ad campaigns from Bush and the Right to Rise super PAC, where approximately $4.8 million has been spent.

According to data an ad-tracking firm produced for Politico, pro-Bush spots have taken up 60 percent of political air time in New Hampshire in the past three weeks.

It’s done absolutely nothing to help him in the state, in what is considered a must-win for Bush if he’s to overtake front-runners Donald Trump and Ben Carson.

In New Hampshire, his poll numbers have gone from 9 percent to 8.7 percent during the ad buy, according to Real Clear Politics.

I’m getting the impression that Jeb just isn’t very bright.

So far so good

Jeb is like W...but without the big brain (relatively speaking, of course).

But, but, we've been told over and over again that the winning formula is a big tent, where we moderate our tone, and concentrate almost solely on the independent voter...

Only liberal lite doesn't work; those inclined to like liberals already have candidates in the race, those inclined to have conservative values aren't going to flock behind someone who is only marginal better than the opposition (or worse - hi John McCain and Mitt Romney who would have had the GOPe flock in congress backing every liberal move they made..)

So the problem isn't the coordinator, the ad buy, etc. The problem is with the message which is confused, meandering, and ultimately, as destructive as every hair brained concept being floated by the liberals right now.

Oh, and to top it all off, a flippin’ family dynasty isn't exactly something most Americans are comfortable with to begin with. As his mother said, we really don't need another Bush in the White House.

Pack it in Yeb. Clear the way for real candidates to run.

Maybe making ads in english, and not paying for ad time on telemundo and univision would help? I think that mexicans and GOPe types are confused as to what country ¿JEB? is running for el presidente in exactly.

I predict Bush drops out right after losing New Hampshire to try to give Rubio a chance to win Florida from Trump.

I dont think it will work, but it will be the GOPe hail marry to try to keep Trump from sweeping.

He doesn’t have the every-man charm and style of Dubya. Blue jeans would look foreign on him like a Muslim woman wearing a bikini. Everything about Jeb just screams status-quo, milk-toast Republican.

Jeb wears mom jeans and humps over so as to not seem too tall for his tiny little senora.

Mustn't insult the Mejicans.

Jeb is blowing major dollars now in an Iowa advertising blitz. The ads quote George Will! A tone-deaf waste of money.

Jeb drops out before Florida.
