There is uncertainty over who Jeb Bush's new campaign manager is:
"That report on Monday conflicts with earlier reporting that David Kochel, another GOP operative with deep ties to Iowa, would serve as campaign manager."
"Diaz is a veteran of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, and also stints with Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R), New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, and former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R). Diaz also was a founding partner of the Republican public affairs and consulting firm FP1 strategies."
"The news conflicts with a previous New York Times report in January which said Kochel would serve as the campaign manager. Before the Times report, Sara Fagen, the former White House political director under George W. Bush, had also been mentioned as a top prospect for campaign manager."
"Tim Miller, Bush's press secretary for his political operation, indicated that Kochel would likely still serve in a top role on Bush's campaign, albeit not as campaign manager."

Well, whoever, it is, there doesn't seem to be any debate that Jeb is running for President. Yet he has continued to tell this yarn about not being sure if he's running for months. The paradox is how does a campaign decide who the manager is when the decision of whether or not there even will be a campaign allegedly hasn't been made yet? The most Jeb could tell us during this time is that he 'hopes I'll be running.'
How does a man who 'doesn't know' if he's running have a campaign that's hired multiple campaign managers?
"Finally, after months and months of hand-wringing, fingernail-chewing and nervous pacing, the world will know June 15 whether Jeb Bush is going to run for president. WHAT WILL HE SAY!?"
"About a week before former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) is set to jump into the 2016 presidential race, The Wall Street Journal reported that Republican strategist Danny Diaz would serve as the former governor's campaign manager."
"That report on Monday conflicts with earlier reporting that David Kochel, another GOP operative with deep ties to Iowa, would serve as campaign manager."
"Diaz is a veteran of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, and also stints with Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R), New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, and former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R).

"He will say, of course, that he is running for president.* This is the same thing he has been doing, actively but unofficially, for at least the last six months. And we will cover it as though this is a breaking news event on par with a natural disaster or a 23-inning baseball game."
"Here's some breaking news for you: It is not a breaking news event."
"While all candidates -- and campaigns -- draw out their announcement schedule long after they have made up their mind in order to raise interest (and by interest, I mean money), Bush has taken the "exploratory" phase of a campaign to its logical extreme with his if-I-runsmanship over the last six months."
"Lawyers say Mr. Bush, a former Florida governor, is stretching the limits of election law by crisscrossing the country, hiring a political team and raising tens of millions of dollars at fund-raisers, all without declaring — except once, by mistake — that he is a candidate," wrote Eric Lichtblau and Nick Corasanti this week. The duo quote Karl Sandstrom, a former Federal Election Commissioner and a campaign finance lawyer, saying that Bush's approach "makes a mockery of the law."

He said he 'admires' his brother's Iraq policy and his road to announcing his campaign are just as disingenuous as W's road to bombing Iraq was.
The only real question left do we think this law is worth enforcing or not? If it's not, then let's get it off the books. If it is, then shouldn't Mr. Jeb be held accountable for campaign fraud?
