BEDFORD, New Hampshire — On a Saturday morning
in snowy New Hampshire, a woman asked Gov. Jeb Bush how he'd take care
of the country's veterans. She recounted how her father had spent nearly
a decade trying to escape the bureaucratic nightmare created when the
Department of Veterans of Affairs, amid a billing dispute, inaccurately
declared him dead for nine months.
Bush told the nation that story ten hours later
in the debate, an offering that sounded particularly organic coming from
the left of Marco Rubio, who trotted out rehearsed talking points repeatedly.
"I met him, he's voting for me," Bush said energetically. After months
of trailing in middle-of-the-pack obscurity despite relentless
campaigning across the state, Bush fought back. He's not alone, either:
all three Republican governors who have lagged in the polls made a final
stand last night, clawing their way into the spotlight in Saturday's
debate after a handful of encouraging days on the trail.
