For a two-term governor of a political hotbed who’s openly mulling over a presidential bid, Jeb Bush is unusually reliant on his own counsel.
But to the extent Bush has a kitchen cabinet, two figures have seats at the head of the table: Sally Bradshaw, Bush’s no-nonsense, ex-chief of staff, and Mike Murphy, the Republican consultant and “Meet the Press” mainstay who’s taken up residence in Hollywood.
-snip-
Jeb Bush has always been part of Murphy’s Holy Trinity of clients; the others are Mitt Romney, whose 2002 gubernatorial run Murphy advised, and Sen. John McCain.

I’ve vowed never to vote for someone who employs Mike Murphy, and I plan on keeping that promise.
Are these people nuts or just arrogant. I would NOT be bragging about your advising these three.
Good grief, THIS is what is wrong with the Republican party. Just get RID of these RE-hashed guys. They are so yesterday. Anyone agree?
BTW, please donate monthly to FR, just do it now. Just a little donation helps keep this great spot on the internet to share like minded ideas.
Its good to see he hired Mike Murphy. Murphy’s so incompetent that Bush won’t win anything.
Michael Ellis "Mike" Murphy (born 1962) is a Republican political consultant.[1] He has advised such nationally prominent Republicans as John McCain, Rick Lazio, Jeb Bush,John Engler, Tommy Thompson, Spencer Abraham, Christie Whitman, Lamar Alexander, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.[1][2] He was, until January 2006, an adviser to Mitt Romney, the Governor of Massachusetts and an about-to-become candidate for the Republican presidential nomination for the 2008 presidential election.[3] He stepped down as a result of his role as chief strategist to Governor Romney as well as Senator McCain, who were both widely expected to be Republican challengers in the primaries of the 2008 Presidential election. Murphy said he had decided to be neutral in a contest between two close clients, although he would advise each informally.
On September 3, 2008, during a segment on NBC, Murphy was recorded, along with conservative commentator Peggy Noonan and NBC reporter Chuck Todd, giving critical analysis about Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin—all apparently unaware that their microphones were still live. Murphy had been publicly critical of the strategy of the Palin choice in his TIME blogging and on NBC, saying her appeal is mostly limited to the Republican base.[8]
If Jen gets the nomination, I will be staying home on Election Day. I don’t see him as a much better choice than Hillary..
Same here.
And I add Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace to that list.
I sure won’t forget. These people are proven leftists.
What does it take for political consultants to be exposed as frauds? Murphy is synonymous for losing campaigns.
Inner circle jerk, more like.
Why, oh why do We, the People have any compelling reasons to vote for any Doormat Republicans who have promised to advance Obama’s Agenda to increase the number of undocumented Democrat voters who are Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico? DUH!
We, the People know that is time, - - - time for a change.
Sadly, I think Jeb would have been a better president than his brother.
We have 310,000,000 citizens surely there ate better choices.
NO more Bushes, Kennedys, Clintons, Rockefellers, Cuomos Bidens or any other political dynasty!!!
The Anti-Children, Free Stuff Family Dynasties.
You list is well intended,
Of that I’m very sure.
What is lacking is the reason
That these family jobs endure.
We-who vote them in,
Must have our reasons?
We-who re-elect them,
Must have reasons too?
What the reasons are
It is obvious to know:
We all like to LIVE LARGE,
As we pursue what is good and free,
“Charge everything to our kids:
charge, Charge, CHARGE!”
“Politicians will be politicians,
Just as boys will be boys.”
Is what we laugh and say,
By those who hate their kids
And vote to make them pay, Pay, PAY!
“No!” You say, “NO!
You’re not talking about ME!
I LOVE my kids!” is your reply - - -
But who will be stuck
To pay your greedy free stuff bills,
When you die, Die, DIE?

In 2014 it is time, - - - time for a change.
