The super PAC supporting GOP hopeful Jeb Bush is asking donors to pitch in to fund a Super Bowl advertisement.

On Friday, The New York Times reported Mike Murphy, the head or Right to Rise, urged donors in an email to contribute online to air an advertisement supporting Bush in New England during the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl is Feb. 7, two days before New Hampshire's primary on Feb. 9.

According to the Times, the email to donors included a link to the website. The organization is looking to raise $300,000 for the advertisement, according to the fundraising campaign's website.

As of Sunday afternoon, 176 donors gave a total of $31,717 toward the $300,000 goal.

people want to enjoy the Super Bowl without political ads. This will backfire big time.

[Cicero]

Even if he managed to raise the money, what kind of Super Bowl ad would he have that could possibly do him any good?

“I’m Jeb Bush, and I can stand on my tippy toes. Our country shall rise again!”

[TBP]

Good luck with that.

[Parley Baer]

Jeb sure knows how to waste money. No wonder the GOPe wants him for President.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Still wasting other people’s money.

[SkyDancer]

Give it up Jeb! you’re toast. Just fold your tent and go home quietly.

[Cboldt]

Now there is a real contrast. Super Bowl :: Jeb Bush

I’d love to see it for the comedic value.

[Covenantor]

What kind of ad? Well, something like this one...

....but with turtles.

He was going to have a hot air balloon fly over the stadium with his message on the side, but Bernie Sanders used up all the hot air.

He is a a nice guy but Jet’s last “good day” was in 1997.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

First, they won’t get $300,000. Second, even if they do and run an ad, it won’t change anyone’s opinion of Jeb Bush. It will be yet another colossal waste of money by Mike Murphy. Although I’m sure out of the $300,000, at least $60,000 or $70,000 is a fee to him or his buddies.

Maybe if it had big beautiful Clydesdales pulling this big beautiful wagon it would make people feel good about Jeb.

[Nateman]

Just when you thought it was safe to be in the gene pool...

Cruz supporters better take a look in the rear view mirror.

Bush is gaining on Cruz. Could knock him out of a distant 2nd very soon.

[Zathras]

Blowing 500M and pissing off sports fans.
Jeb REALLY doesn’t get what is going on.

[Mr. K]

OMG it would be so funny if Trump offered to pay for it when the crowdfunding fails.

Or hold his own crowdfunding site to help out poor destitute Jeb.

[W.]

Why’s this douchey loser begging for money, his family is well-off enough to lend him a dollar. Maybe they know his campaign’s just an ego-stroking fail from the get-go.
