And what has this gotten the Bush campaign? Unfortunately for Mr. Bush, not all that much.

The writer Robert Daines published what he called "the ultimate Edsel photograph" on the title page of his book "Edsel: The Motor Industry's Titanic" (Academy Books, 1994). It showed Vice President Richard M. Nixon on a trip to Lima, Peru, in May 1958, riding in an Edsel convertible that looked a lot like Mr. Lennox's.

"Seconds after this picture was taken," Mr. Daines wrote, "Nixon was pelted with eggs and tomatoes by demonstrators. Nixon later joked: 'They were throwing eggs at the car, not me.' "

--To Ford, a Disaster. To Edsel Owners, Love.

Today, with DVR, nobody watches political ads.Those that have will only watch it once. Trump has targeted the soft middle with memorable sound bites that he doesn’t have to pay for.

With that 1 percent in Iowa, you might think Jeb isn’t getting his money’s worth.
But Jeb is so bad he ought be happy he has even 1 percent

After putting up with Pinky Tuscadero, nobody in America was clamoring for Leather Tuscadero - but Happy Days added her anyway.

Wow, now that's an obscure reference!

this is all about the ad consultants and such getting rich nothing more

That's the only way to explain Jeb's campaign, or rather lack of one. Keeping those people "on retainer" for when George P. tries to spread his wings beyond Texas.
