Barbara Bush, the former first lady and mother of Jeb Bush, was so popular in New Hampshire that her son's campaign is bringing her back on the trail.
The former Florida governor accidentally announced his mother's return in a press gaggle Tuesday following an employee town hall at FN Manufacturing here.
"That's not announced yet?" Bush said after spilling the beans and turning to his spokeswoman Kristy Campbell.
"It will be announced," Campbell said. "Thursday, she's coming in Thursday night and she's staying until the primary."
"I blew it," Bush joked. "Always here to help."

Hasn’t she (and Laura Bush too) admitted to supporting abortion? If so, why isn’t this made more of amongst conservatives, when the wives insert themselves into politics?

I guess she is the reason Jeb won the New Hampshire primary. /sarc
Pro-abortion Barbara and Laura won’t be a boost for Jeb, among Evangelicals.
At least and some time ago, TRUMP changed through a more personal experience. These ladies have never budged.
That old woman could have slipped and broken a hip.
What kind of a moron takes their 90 year old mother on a 1000 mile airplane ride to standup and talk for 5 min.
The idiot never heard of Skype?
Jeb! should be ashamed. But then again, he should be ashamed for not buying his own domain name too.
A desperate one
Irrelevant as Jeb.....
Please mommy, bail me out with the voters.
Even if she was a staunch,hard line conservative,why on earth is she doing this??
Ridiculous.
.
Well, at least Jeb is schelpping her around in nicer weather this week......
At least she can take the studded snow tires off the walker.
Jeb Jeb let the old folks enjoy their retirement. I know mommy loves you, but it is time to grow up.
Even though it is ridiculous, and should be irrelevant, it seems that it’s not, since the candidate is choosing to make use of her, and she is willing to be used. In that case, people need to know the beliefs of a woman whom conservatives have respected while her views on abortion have been completely outside the embrace of conservatism (if one doesn’t count all the new, “improved”, or parsed meanings of “conservative”), because this respected woman is endorsing a candidate for president. Naturally she would endorse her son, but it needs to be known that her views on abortion should make that endorsement, even from a mother, irrelevant to any conservative (which by my lights must and does include the social conservative side as well as the fiscal one).
If it looks like a dynasty, it is.
Why don’t they just go home?
Even if she was a staunch, hard line conservative, why on earth is she doing this??
So she can box his ears, snap his forehead and twist his nose every time he says something stupid. And if that doesn’t work, the 3 Stooges eye poke should get his attention.
