Jacksonville, Fla. Former Florida governor Jeb Bush tells National Review Online that Newt Gingrich should stop insinuating that Mitt Romney aides, due to their past work for Charlie Crist, are part of a moderate GOP conspiracy.
Earlier this week, for example, Gingrich told supporters that Romney hired Crist staffers, and emphasized the significance of this fact. We discovered last night that Mitt Romney has picked up Charlie Crists campaign manager, Gingrich said. I thought that told you everything you need to know about this primary.
Thats not a serious accusation, Bush says. Candidates win elections. Im not a big Charlie Crist fan, as you recall, but these guys shouldnt have that moniker attached to them, as if Governor Romney is part of some evil plot. Thats ridiculous.
Then this happened:

Drudge is portraying an internet poll as if it were a real poll.
so much for immunity from left wing spin.
Ever wonder how chickens get their fears recognized on the public square? They put an idea out there and call it ridiculous hoping that someone else will pick up the idea and run with it.
Newt said nothing about conspiracy..yet politics, by it's nature, is conspiratorial. Example..we, together on FR, conspire to get Newt elected. The difference here is we have our rituals of eating Frito's and spilling liquid on our keyboards by moonlight, rather than getting together at Florida hobnob parties and playing twister.
Me thinks Jeb doth protest too much.
Gatun to Jeb: Go to hell...and stay there.
You tell ‘em “Tubby Bush”. /s
“Crist staffers MATTER.”
Yep. The presidency is a big job, and as much as people like to think of a president as doing ‘everything”, so much of the major work (at least initially) is done by subordinates. That was one of the many reasons Reagan was so successful- he knew how to select first-class staffers.
Almost everybody associated with Romney thus far has given me much cause for concern.
