Bush canceling ad buys in Iowa and South Carolina (because of 4th Quarter fundraising collapse)

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is canceling reserved advertising time in Iowa and scaling back his advertising in South Carolina, campaign aides said Wednesday, a sign of his continuing struggles to connect with voters.
Instead, Bush plans to deploy more staff to the first four states holding contests next year - Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.
Staffing in New Hampshire will double to 40, and the Bush team in Iowa will grow to about 20, aides said. Staffing in South Carolina and Nevada will be in the low teens.
News of the decision was first reported by the Des Moines Register.
The movements come at the end of the fundraising quarter, a period when Bush was devoting less time to holding fundraisers and more time visiting the early states in hopes of boosting his sagging poll numbers.
A series of emails to supporters this week from Bush's brother, former president George W. Bush, and the candidate's son, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, delivered last-minute requests for donations as low as $1.

Jeb is canceling ads from a position of strength.
It’s an act of love.
He’s “picking” his battles.

People with under 9% in the polls should not be allowed on the main debate stage any more.

I think the Republican Establishment’s mantle will have to be passed to Marco Rubio, if it already hasn’t been.
I’m not in the ‘smoke filled rooms’. But my sense of the situation is that Bush is toast. Rubio is their only hope.

Why doesn’t the Bush Dynasty spend their own money for Jeb’s campaign?

Now we will see Mike Murphy panic. Before this, money was rolling in and he was living the good life, irrespective of whether Jeb! was actually doing well in the polls. Now, with no more money coming in for him to spend and take fees out of, its getting serious.

I have seen corpses with more life than the Yeb campaign. He and O’Malley could rent a closet for all their supporters and still have room.
