On the eve of todayâs New Hampshire presidential primary, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush finished his day at the Frank Jones Center on the seacoast, the same locale where another unlikely GOP contender, John McCain, once hosted his final town hall in a state that he ultimately won eight years ago.
The former Florida governor joked that "the Bushes are getting acclimated" to New Hampshire again after his mother visited days ago, nodding to the state in which the family has collectively won four primaries.

Itâs no secret that the Bush campaign has gone all-in here. Supporters were shipped in from Florida to door-knock, make calls and plant yard signs around the Granite State. An analysis of voter contact, conducted by Monmouth University polling director Patrick Murray, found that Bush led the Republican pack in outreach.

Jeb would win today... except for the inconvenient little fact no one else has dropped out for him.
It sucks.
Kasich will be the winner today, might just be his only 5 minutes of fame.
Jeb would have this thing wrapped up, if only people would vote for him.
Clap for Bush as he exits the race.
Yup... John the kid with the goofy grin from OH.
Spent a lot of time in NH. He won’t make it past Super Tuesday.
My wife is from NH, first off she says Trump got more votes by being blunt and saying what he says.
Fortunately for the campaign, they were able to save some campaign funds by simply renting a Ford Taurus.
Never ceases to amaze me that Jeb called out Trump for “throwing an old woman out of her place”, yet he’ll drag his 90 year old mother from Texas to New Hampshire to try to navigate that snow and ice.
I’m not a Bush fan, but old Ma Bush is pretty spunky gal.
I doubt anybody “drags” her anyplace.
Bush may be rising.
Getting 2nd wind, per another thread.
Looks like the media are trying to resurrect Jeb, since Rubio seemed to be floundering.
Another member of the pajama-boy clan.
The GOP establishment lane suffers from a pile up. No one has been able to clear the road.
Which is good news for Trump.
Man, the MSM and GOPe are soaked in flop sweat, ain’t they?
Remember how they brought the crash cart out for McCain?
“CLEAR!”
The longer Kasich, Rubio and Bush stay in, the better for the wacko-bird wing of the party and Trump.
Those 3 are basically trying to get votes from the same pool of voters.
In the Sunday morning newtalks programs, some of the commentators were still contending that the GOP nomination would not be decided by the primaries and would lead to an open convention.
I think the GOP race will be locked up by the end of March.
