Another Bush-vs.-Rubio fight sets the stage for tonight's GOP debate:
Tonight's fourth Republican presidential debate picks up where the last
one left off -- with Jeb Bush in desperate need of a strong showing,
and with his team (this time his Super PAC) picking a fight with Marco
Rubio. The Right to Rise Super PAC "has filmed a provocative video
casting his rival Marco Rubio as ultimately unelectable because of his
hard-line stand against abortion," the New York Times reported last night.
"That group, which has raised more than $100 million, has asked voters
in New Hampshire how they feel about Mr. Rubio's skipping important
votes in the Senate. And the group's chief strategist has boasted of his
willingness to spend as much as $20 million to damage Mr. Rubio's
reputation and halt his sudden ascent in the polls, according to three
people told of the claim." In response, the Rubio campaign has released a
brand-new online ad
in response to the New York Times article, and it's full of instances
where Bush has praised Rubio. "I'm a huge Marco fan," Bush says at the
ad's end.
