Jeb Bush has less than 50 percent of the vote

What's up with THAT?

"What's UP with that?"

Look at the Davis, Riordan, Simon numbers in California before the primary to understand the machinations. Boost who you think is the 'weaker opponent' to drain the resources of the one you fear the most. --- Backfire possible.

A poll yesterday revealed that J. Bush had 65%. Looks like the media is starting to churn!

JEB's a whole lot less popular than his boosters like to admit. His victory in 1998 was more the failure of the Democratic candidate than enthusiasm for Bush.

Plenty of Florida Democrats recognize that Reno is unelectable. Today I spoke to a Democrat who's running for office and ringing doorbells all over his district. He expects a McBride upset.

If McBride does win the primary, Bush will be in for a tough race.

It's known as taking your poll in Palm Beach County. I dismiss 99% of the results in Florida polls as they have yet to ever get any of them close to correct. Don't worry. Outside of Palm Beach County, Orlando, and that weird area of Tampa-St. Pete where the liberal blacks and homos hang out, it's running about 80-20 against the dems.

Bush's numbers are troubling to say the least. It is for the challenger to have to get their name out there and build support. For the incumbent to have to be fighting to get above 50%, is not good news. Not to mention, Jeb has been campaigning a lot. Not like he's been idle.
He has accomplished much, he needs to run on his record.
