The news surrounding Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign isn’t good. He’s “hunkering down” with his family to “assess his candidacy.” He’s looking at big payroll cuts. He carries his own luggage while relying on supporters to drive him around, “including one who pulled away from a Rotary meeting last week with a flat rear tire.”

Actually, that last bit is from a 2007 story about John McCain’s campaign. If you’re on Team Bush, you have to hope the McCain model applies to the former Florida governor. McCain went from being a front-runner to running a nearly broke campaign that was shedding staff.
