His campaign in difficult straits after disappointing showings on the stump and the debate stage, former Florida governor Jeb Bush insisted Thursday that he has the skills and the staying power to withstand a downturn.
"It's not on life support," he said of the once-formidable campaign operation he has been forced to trim back as a cost-saving measure. "We have the most money, we have the greatest organization," Bush told reporters following a brief campaign stop here. "We're doing fine."
Bush spoke for fewer than five minutes to a small, polite crowd basking in an unusually warm, sunny afternoon. A smattering of raindrops fell exactly as Bush took the stage outside Geno's Chowder and Sandwich Shop, but the sun soon returned.

It’s not dead. It’s just pining for the fjords.

I don’t like piling on Jeb, but money doesn’t buy the presidency. We the people get to decide and it doesn’t look good for Jeb. He should show some class and bow out with whatever grace he can still muster.

Maybe not but it does have the terminal disease known as Bush-itis.

The candidate’s poll numbers flatlined, but the campaign was a success.

So hope Bush hangs on until Florida-— he’s an anchor on all the other Rino candidates.

Translation: the plug was pulled already weeks ago. But it’s good he ran. It at least answered the question: what if they gave a campaign and nobody came?

Exactly. We must pile on Jeb. It’s our civic duty.

Given the Schiavo affair, it’s our religious duty as well.
