Jeb Bush’s fundraising relies on big city support

While Jeb Bush focuses his time on the first primary and caucus states, he’s raising a great deal of his money from big cities like Dallas, Houston and Miami, and traditional Democratic coastal power centers like Washington and New York.

He can run for mayor then.

Mitt Romney part II.

Raise all the money you want. I’ll never vote for you, Jeb. NEVER.

Its how Mitt Romney won the primary. Santorum won 85% of the counties while Mitt Romney won the heavily populated "moderate" suburbs. Rush limbaugh noticed it in 2012 and we better figure out how to counter it.

It was pointed out just a week or so ago that Jeb Bush only has a tiny number of contributors. *Nationwide*, around just 30,000. And only a tiny number of those are small, individual contributors. Only 3% of his donors gave less than $200.

Heck, he should run as a third party, Corporate Party candidate.

It has become such an embarrassment that he has asked individual donors to cap their payments to him at $1 million each.

He has to be in a panic about the extremely low number of small contributions from individuals. After all, what better indicator of grass roots support is there than middle class voters opening their wallet and sending you twenty bucks at a time?
