Jeb Bush shook up his staff Monday amid reports that he and his supporters arent pleased with the progress, or lack thereof, of his campaign for the White House.
Yes, we know he hasnt officially declared yet. Thats supposed to happen in Miami on June 15. But Mr. Bush has been running hard in the invisible primary stage of the GOP nomination contest. Hes been courting donors and party leaders and trying to build his image. And that hasnt been going so well. He hasnt lost the invisible primary, but he isnt winning it either.
The money is indeed flowing in. But in early polls Bush is bunched together in a front-runner tier with others, such as Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and fellow Floridian Sen. Marco Rubio. Republican luminaries arent exactly lining up to endorse him and jump on his team.
Theres no growing sense of inevitability about the Bush effort. In that sense Jeb is already behind where his brother George W. was at a similar point in 1999.
