(snip)

Yet it's already hit an early roadblock.

Bush and his advisers have abandoned plans to link some of the technology efforts of his formal campaign and an allied super political action committee by contracting with a single company. That firm could have provided both groups with the same data on the electorate from which to work — everything from names and addresses of voters to their hobbies and number of children.

If Jeb is the nominee, I stay home. No more of this type candidate.

What kind of useful data can you mine when you only have 5% support from people who claim to be Republican? That’s about 2.5% of the population i.e. just above asterisk level.

If Jeb isn’t the GOP nominee, this database will be used by the GOPe to help elect the Democrat.

This is a case of a campaign consultant making a big score for a big project contract.

The rats did that eight years ago and added to it four years ago. They have had full time staff staff working and adding people to the rolls.

I bet every company they have contacted have demanded both cash up front, and a contract with a clean disconnect if things go south.

So they want to coordinate the efforts of the Super PAC and the official campaign? I thought there were rules about that.

This is more of the same hubris that had Yeb’s opening message be about his communication style rather than who he is or what he stood for. Unfortunately for Yeb, the more I understand his character and what he stands for... the less I could care about his communication style.

This is another case of a GOPe genius running before he caught the ball.
