A new poll of New Hampshire Republicans by Monmouth University confirms the fading fortunes of the Jeb Bush campaign.
Despite spending more on TV than all other candidates combined, Jeb has dropped to sixth place in nation's first primary state, a must-win for his Presidential ambitions. In July, Jeb Bush was second in New Hampshire.
A great deal of Bush's candidacy was predicated on enjoying an enormous financial edge over his Republican rivals. When he launched his campaign this summer, an allied Super PAC announced it had raised just over $100 million to support Jeb in the primary. This announcement was intended to "shock and awe" his rivals for the nomination.
Most pundits and observers predicted that Bush's prodigious fundraising would enable him to outlast the other candidates and ultimately overwhelm them with advertising. Given Bush's already overwhelming edge in paid advertising, that premise is wrong.
In September and October, Bush's Super PAC, Right to Rise, spent more than $7.5 million on ads in New Hampshire. Combined with spending by Bush's individual campaign, pro-Bush advertising eclipsed $8 million in the state. This spending is twice the amount spent by the next biggest spender, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, whose Super pac's have spent around $3.7 million in the state.

Mike Murphy should of been sent out to the pasture years ago.
Jeb reminds me of a stalker who refuses to believe the woman doesn’t want to go out with him.
Geez, maybe somebody hacked his tag line printer so his bumper stickers and t-shirts say “Yeb CAN’T fix it!” Don’t know how much he paid for someone to come up with that campaign slogan but he should have bruises on his back where they threw the change at him as he walked away. Can we get a vote on WORST slogan or does his win by default.
What is it with this guy?
Give up Jen what is it? Like the new world order candidate? Or the Saudis?
It is over. The is base Is done having our president bought a and sold and using the constitution as just a museum piece
It’s over bushes. We still have the Clinton’s to deal with. We don’t need you too. Get a clue
JEB! Can’t fix that!
Yes. He should have been
America said NO MORE BUSHES, even his own mother said that, he didn’t listen...
It’s terrific. Jeb has gone from annoying to super creepy. I hope he sticks around to become DuPont creepy.
Haha…I think I hear Sarah Palin laughing along with the rest of us. These are all the old GOPe retreads and chronic losers who gave her such a hard time when she was running with the Oldest Loser, McCain.
LMAO!! Great analogy!
“Shock and awe”? Yes, I am awed by how a bunch of campaign “experts” (who know SO much more than us plain stupid base types who are to be mocked and derided by them) can spend others’ money to the tune of $ 100 million+ and end up doing a Skyfall down the polls.
Loser! He should have retired years ago.
Jeb did recently say that he’d be will to engage in homicide in defense of his father. If that wasn’t obsessed and creepy enough..... The family believes the presidency is a throne. We need to say loudly and clearly that it is not.
I couldn’t remember if he was one of the people who destroyed Sarah. I only remember Wallace and Schmidt.
A similar tag line ‘Yes, We Can’ was used effectively with a large population of stupid people. Very, very stupid people. Brain dead, room temperature IQ kind of people... democrats.
Jebbie, it’s not going to sell. A rallying call works when people can believe in the cause. Those paying attention to the candidates don’t see you as being the alpha-male ready to effect large scale change. Go home Jeb.
The nice thing about Jeb is the better you know him as a candidate, the less you like him. He is no threat to the candidates with potential to do the job well.
I actually have nothing personal against Jeb, I just don’t want him to get the nomination. Mike Murphy on the other hand is an obnoxious ass.
I ain't voting for no stinking Mexican
"Should of"? No. "Should have." Or "should've."
Sorry to be so picky. It's just that I hate these Word Crimes.
