Thursday is October 1. Republican caucus and primary voters begin voting the first of February. Jeb Bush has suffered a big decline in the polls, losing, by the count of Wall Street Journal pollsters, 2/3 of his support nationally since June. (He was at 22 percent in that month's Journal poll and seven percent in a new survey released Sunday.) Other polls show significant decline.

So what is Team Bush's response? To project a sense of calm and imperturbability in the face of bad news. "The race is completely fluid -- look at all the moving parts to date," said close Bush aide Sally Bradshaw in an email exchange Sunday. "We don't spend a lot of time worried about who is President of 2015."

Never.
despite have a less than 1% favor rating, the MSM are capitalist and will welcome your AD dollars until they suck your well dry.
I am happy, Jeb will be the last Bush.
That’s what concerns me most about ¡Yeb!
The Cheap Labor Express has very deep pockets.
The dogs won’t eat it.
....Lots of other peoples money....
Spend it all, dummy.
I think Jeb will hang in there until he reaches -10%
Yes, Jeb is doing great. Throw more money at him GOPe.
And he doesn't smell like cabbage either.
Is that like five years old or what?
He probably thinks he’s being funny.
Just seems silly to me.
He’s already taller than Trump, and it makes it seem like it’s very important to him to be taller.
Childish...
I really hope he burns through all of that cash and ends up having absolutely nothing to show for it except earning a very large, “L”!
That just reeks of douchebaggery.
My girlfriend wouldn’t vote for Jeb with all that ear hair.
Jebby,
There ain’t enough money anywhere to get us to vote for ya pal.
Go back to Miami or Mexico and get on with wha tever else you do.
Adios.
I’m not worried, but I would be if I was Jeb...
