Jeb Bush’s Team Plots Vast Effort to Win Florida

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/22/us/politics/jeb-bushs-team-plots-vast-effort-to-win-florida.html

"TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The political apparatus surrounding former Gov. Jeb Bush, determined to avoid embarrassment in a state that has vexed his party and family in national elections, is plotting a vast operation aimed at turning Florida into a bulwark for his presidential campaign, according to dozens of interviews.

The confidential plan, code-named “Homeland Security,” seeks to try to neutralize two potentially grave but homegrown threats to Mr. Bush’s long-anticipated run for president: the likely challenge from a charismatic young Republican senator from Miami, Marco Rubio, who is expected to seek the Republican nomination himself, and a demographic drift within Florida that could doom Mr. Bush there in a fall campaign against a Democrat."

Scott Walker (who will have a lot of Koch money) is a far bigger threat to him.

rate to rise not to mention registration challenges. The repubs will use the cops to lock up more minorities with felonies between now and election day.
