Not Even in the Gate Yet ... and Stumbling

How Jeb Bush’s campaign ran off course before it even began (Ed O'Keefe and Robert Costa) from the Washington Post
"In interviews this week, dozens of Bush backers and informed Republicans — most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to comment candidly — described an overly optimistic, even haughty exploratory operation."
Interesting.  Regular readers know that I view Bush as the most formidable GOP candidate in the field this year.  But I will have to say that, in the last six week, Bush's campaign reminds me most of Hillary's campaign from '08.  So far, he and his team have seemed very disconnected from both the mood and agenda of GOP primary voters and from the broader electorate.  Fortunately, there is no Republican Obama on the GOP side this season.
