Any idea why Drudge dislikes the Bushes?

I received the first mass-mailing brochure from the Jeb campaign today. A big, neato, red-white-and-blue foldout on heavy-stock paper.

What I loved was a terrific pic of Jeb on the cover showing him making a speech at a podium with a big AARP banner behind him. A huge AARP paper button was affixed to his shirt. Attaboy, Jeb. The seniors march to the polls here like lemmings to the sea.

In the lower left-hand corner was a pic of McLawyer, waving his hand aimlessly in the air along with a shiite-eating grin on his face that made him look like an inbred Howdy-Doody.

It is priceless!

I gather it is Zogby-apparently the Zog shows that Jeb and McGroom are in a dead heat. Chris Matthews is about to bust a gut, hyping the fact that Jeb is in Big,Big,Big trouble.

"Stop Democrat voter fraud, and he's a shoe-in. They need unbiased people at the polls, and ballots checked for dead people and out of state people who just hold a post office box in Fl."

Ditto! The Bush family has no one to blame but themselves if Jeb doesn't win. Helloooooooo! They know the Democrat leaning polls are riddled with cheaters and dead voters. Fraud detectors need to be dispatched everywhere, to insure a clean election.

I'd also advise the polling volunteers to have visible tape recorders running in case there are any lawsuits filed that could falsely accuse any volunteer of wrongdoing. A mounted video camera wouldn't be a bad idea either. I know this would be expensive, but worth it in the long run.

Hate to say it, but I'd welcome Big Brother at the polls in November.

Since when has he been in trouble....I always thought he was a shoe-in.

McBride has turned out to be a dud as a candidate. Also he looks goofy in the photo long shots taken of him. I can't exactly pin my finger on it but McBride does look very gawky. Plus he has a BORING speaking style.

Drudge should wait until the Wednesday after the election to print this garbage.

Yuk! AARP? Geeze! I'm for Jeb, but it makes me sick he's got to buddy up to the AARP crowd to get votes. There's a very thin line between Politics a Protitutes. The AARP echelon are socialists.

Those new multi-million dollar voting machines out to add to the election debacle in Florida.
Then the media will come right out and make negative predictions hours before the northern Florida polls close....
I'm surprised the media is not already smearing Jeb Bush's wife, children, family, marriage, sexual stuff, et. al. to drag his name into the gutter....
Hey, it worked in Montana...

It's shoo-in, not shoe-in, and in any event, the phrase no longer applies to Jeb. Those Republicans who worked so hard to knock Reno out of the Dem primary may have been too clever by half. Jeb is indeed in trouble, and you'd better believe the Dems, unions, and every lefty special-interest group under God's yellow sun will leave no stone, legal or illegal, unturned.

McBride, campaigning as a moderate but raking in financial and in-kind support from liberals of every stripe, is giving Jeb fits. I think Jeb will hang on, but it's a long way from a sure thing.

Ha! I thought the negative ads were sworn off by both camps. Looks like someone started swearing.

Okay, but what is Drudge's source? Chances are it is a liberal media source determined to paint Jeb as a "candidate in trouble"...plant that doubt in voters' minds, right?

I disagree. This smells like a setup. Nobody inside the WH or with any real knowledge is going to leak this if true. This is probably some diversion to keep money and resources in Florida and not elsewhere. Drudge has simply become a useful puppet to leak stuff to and make sure it gets out.

Don't count on it. If Drudge weren't able to extract sensitive info from people in the know, he wouldn't have gotten as far as he has.
