Team Bush's next move has to be to figure out a way to get rid of the other 'establishment' friendly candidates. When you look at last cycle, Romney pretty much had that space to himself but Bush has to deal with Rubio, Kasich, Christie (and some others), all of whom can hart his chances in NH where Bush needs a win.
Rubio is especially problematic as he is growing in support and seems to have universal good ratings with GOPers. Team Bush needs to figure out a way to drive up Rubio's negatives but without being seen as the attackers. I suspect there is going to be some strategic leaking to the media of anti-Rubio oppo in the coming weeks.
Yeah. I suspect this will happen sooner than the Bush people thought it would.
Rubio/Walker MUST be ready to go on the total offensive, since the Bush team has no qualms about playing dirty. Rubio/Walker have to basically say that the country is not ready for a third Bush and accuse him of being a moderate hero. If they do go this far, we basically have to accept that Bush won't be the nominee, since (A) I doubt he can withstand such attacks and (B) they wouldn't go that far without eliminating the chance of them being VP to Bush (so they themselves accept he probably won't be the nominee)
