From “Read my lips” on, there has not been a conservative Bush.

I like that. It would make a great oversized children’s book
with fancy script and illustrations.

The are fighting for second to last place. Nobody wants to be the losiest loser. jeb is already the winner of nose pickiest so it's game on.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Its pointless because neither of them have a snowball’s chance in hell.

I guess stupid is the new synonym for Kasich.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You shouldn’t talk about Kasich that way, his father was a mail man ya know.

Since it was written in the late 1800's "The Duel" (above) been in thousands of childrens' books with fantastic illustrations done in the old style... and in lots of big books with collections of famous childrens' poets like Louisa May Alcott, Lewis Carroll, Robert Louis Stevenson and Rudyard Kipling.

Eugene Field was a great American childrens' poet, also writing "Wynken, Blynken and Nod". He was born in St. Louis and is buried in Chicago.

We had to read all these poets early on in our very fine grammar school in the Chicago suburbs.

Today, the kids have to read Rap Brown and Maya Angelou and other undecipherables instead of the classics....and that's why so many grow up to be illiterate pinheads.

Completely pointless to spend all your money going after the other guy who also has only 3% of the vote.

Jeb and Kasich attacking each other, also known as When Amoebas Fight.

It is pointless. It could be a local thing, though.

Bush has 6-10% in New Hampshire. Kasich has 7-12%.

If Bush flatlines, and Kasich gets over half his vote, he could be in third place in New Hampshire.

It won't happen. Rubio and Christie are better positioned to get those votes. And elsewhere (Iowa, South Carolina), Kasich is at 1-2%. But if you just consider New Hampshire, this move isn't crazier than Kasich's running in the first place.

Kasich is a major disappointment. If a candidate actually has some executive experience he ought to be something more than Mr. Negative Campaigning.
