Jeb Bush appears to be breaking out the big guns this weekend in order to save his flagging presidential campaign.
On Sunday and Monday, Bush will be hunkering down in Houston with his father, former President George H. W. Bush, and brother, former President George W. Bush, to discuss finances and his lackluster poll numbers. Mother Barbara Bush will also be in attendance, along with Jeb sons Jeb Bush, Jr. and George P. Bush, the current Texas land commissioner. Also attending will be Jeb Bush bundlers who have raised a certain minimum of money, reported to be at least $50,000.
In the meantime, George W. Bush will be headlining a fundraiser in Georgetown (Washington DC) on October 29, which is aimed at Bush-Cheney associates in order to spur enthusiasm among friends of the former president. Jeb Bush will not be in attendance.
Jeb Bush has been forced to engage in drastic restructuring of his campaign, which have included reducing payroll costs by 40%; downsizing staff — including at headquarters; cutting travel expenses by 20%; and eliminating various overhead costs by up to 45%.
