The $4.8 million TV and radio ad blitz in New Hampshire by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and his associated super Pacs has done little to bump up his polling in the state, which is considered crucial to his campaign.
A report by Politico Thursday notes that in the weeks since the ad buy -- which has pro-Bush ads taking up 60 percent of the political airspace in the state -- the former governor's average poll numbers have actually dipped down, from 9 percent to 8.7 percent.

Mike Murphy FAIL!
GOOD!
Maybe the ad blitz should have been in English.
I think in general....the Super PACs have finally hit maximum velocity and can’t really influence elections to the degree that they did a decade ago. Social media helped to change their significance.
BUT!!!!!!!
You WILL notice that ALL of those millions of dollars went directly FROM Jeb!’s big donors TO Jeb! to the MEDIA HIRING the media writers and talking heads who ARE the only ones actively promoting Jeb’s campaigns ...
Follow the money.
No promotions and constant visuals about Jeb! = No money to the media stations and their actors and wroters and camera men hired by the media people running the advertisements.
There was a novel which had the main character suffering from impotence, and his efforts with a rather unresponsive female were described as ‘like trying to stuff an oyster through a coin slot’.
I hadn’t thought of that line in years, but it comes to mind for some reason with respect to the ¿Yeb? campaign.
Rove, Bush & Co squandering millions on a candidate with utterly zero appeal. None.
In this election cycle, purchased advertising may matter little, for the first time.
It’s all about pop culture, and perception therein. The best SNL skit, Youtube clip, Twitter feed etc. wins.
This a challenge to big ...... as donors.
I spent $4.8 million and all I got was a negative article.
So JEB! spends TWICE what Donald Trump has spent on his whole campaign on a SINGLE ad blitz in a SINGLE state and it gains JEB! nothing? This definitely establishes JEB! as GOPee! ;-)
Now people can see, up close and ugly, just how futile urinating into the wind can be.
The tide has gone out, and the vessel which Jeb meant to ride is now stranded in the mud flats.
The best the big money boys can do now is go for the salvage rights. There are going to be a lot of unemployed “advisers” in just a few more weeks.

“I think in general....the Super PACs have finally hit maximum velocity and cant really influence elections to the degree that they did a decade ago.”
This is probably a true statement, but this particular example is distorto because Jeb has very simply zero appeal. I mean, zero. There is not a single reason to vote for him. He’s just a dumb glurk and no qty of advertising is going to change that.
Gee...wonder why?
I guess the Yeb! jackass strategy of losing the primaries in order to win the general is succeeding.
Maybe he ought to stand on his tippee-toes a bit higher.
Jebbie spends almost 2 1/2 times that amount on advertising in tiny New Hampshire and has zero to show for it.
Can't wait to see Jebbie's financials later today. I think he's the only candidate waiting until the absolute latest possible time to file his statement. It's sure to be embarrassing.
This tall blonde dude with nice suits and a pretty wife continues to have a profound effect on things. And I ain’t talking about Jeb
