The automated survey indicates Jeb Bush in second place, with 14.4% saying they'd support the former two-term Florida governor if the Feb. 9, 2016 primary was held now.

To my mind, this result pretty much insures that J.E.B. cannot win New Hampshire. And, if he can't win New Hampshire, he can't win the nomination.

With his tremendous built-in name recognition advantage, complete with an existing record, Bush cannot "come from behind". How does he go about changing people's minds about him and his policies?

And, if any primary state should be pre-disposed toward his candidacy, it would be New Hampshire.

The Bush candidacy is dead, over and done with, stillborn.

Whom will the GOP-e put forth next?

GOPe has Jeb & Christy. I hope Neither one wins the primaries. Jeb Bush’s best chance is NH. If he can’t win there it looks dark.
