As its favored candidate strains to improve languishing poll numbers, the “super PAC” supporting Jeb Bush is keeping busy.
The group appears to be targeting two of Mr. Bush’s rivals who have gained a measure of traction with establishment Republicans: Gov. John R. Kasich of Ohio and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.
The super PAC, Right to Rise, dispatched representatives to Ohio to scour documents related to Mr. Kasich at a public library in Westerville. “Jeb’s oppo team’s in OH now rifling thru my archives,” Mr. Kasich posted on Twitter on Thursday night.

And in Iowa on Thursday, the group sent a tracker to gather footage at an event for Mr. Rubio. The tracker was asked to leave, according to Politico, which reported the move.
A spokesman for Right to Rise, Paul Lindsay, said the group was “collecting routine, issue-based research on all the candidates in the race.”

Dirty is as dirty does
Where are the fighting rhino graphics?
Wish he’d put that much energy into digging dirt on Hillary.
Cool. Kasich and the Rube were to be the fake “conservatives” who diverted votes from the anti-GOPe candidates so Jebbie could float in with about 20 percent of the vote. Now the three wounded hyenas are eating each other’s guts.
The Bushies are beginning to fear that Rubio and Kasich who were supposed to help diffuse the conservative vote will, instead, detract from Bush’s vote and could even deny him the 8 majorities he needs to be entered into the Convention. It is conceivable this time around that no one will get 8. How will the RNC deal with that?
Ha ha—not the one I was thinking of!
Why doesn’t Yeb go for Lindsey Graham? Lindsey Graham is the most qualified low hanging fruit.
“Now the three wounded hyenas are eating each other’s guts.”
I confess that image makes me smile.
Bush going after Kasich of Ohio and Rubio is a question of political survival. If Yeb doesn’t take them out now, he will be irrelevant, much less taking on Trump. The GOPe has to solidify soon or will be out of the running.
The love the smell of GOPe fratricide in the morning.
Trump is right, Bush & Rubio hate each other.
I love the smell of GOPe fratricide in the morning.
I hate the lack of an edit function.
So Rove is now into “dumpster diving!” I’d like to see some photographic “evidence” of that!
I’m sure some one has a picture....
