Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's virtual tie for third place in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday is the moment he has been waiting for to revive a struggling campaign.
Campaign advisers said he needed to exceed expectations and beat his home-state rival, Sen. Marco Rubio, and after months of slumping poll numbers, he did. Mr. Rubio was in fifth place, roughly a point behind Mr. Bush and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Mr. Bush now heads to South Carolina with some wind at his back, a political organization on the ground and some potentially powerful surrogates on hand.
"This campaign is not dead-we're going on to South Carolina," Mr. Bush told supporters in New Hampshire.
With a headquarters in Columbia and three field offices across the state, his campaign says it has already contacted more than 500,000 voters and knocked on more than 50,000 doors.
The super PAC backing his campaign, Right to Rise USA, has spent $10 million in the state and is currently airing two ads.

“Virtual third place tie” does not equal delegates.

Maybe Jeb should have run as a Democrat? I bet he'd have whupped both Sanders and Clinton in New Hampshire.

I’m old enough to remember before the Wall Street Journal was a rabidly left-wing Republican publication.

Been watching cable news today. It's amazing to me that a candidate and some media is trying to spin a 4th place finish as some sort of victory.

I remember when TIME was $.25/copy and pure Republican.

Spends $36,000,000 in New Hampshire to come in 4th with 29,000 votes.
Political wind at his back. Hint: That's not political wind. It's a fart!

Yep, The Wall Street Jurnal is now a mouthpiece for The Cheap Labor Express.
Yeb! was their choice of Designated Loser to block us from electing anyone who would stop them.
Isn’t working out like they thought it would.

Like FOX, also owned by Rupert Murdoch.

This reminds me of the boxer who executes his fight plan but then loses the fight. Sure Jeb beat Rubio, but embarrassingly he lost to Cruz who barely showed up. That is called executing a plan but losing the battle.

Been watching cable news today. It's amazing to me that a candidate and some media is trying to spin a 4th place finish as some sort of victory. It's called 'propaganda'.
