Presidential candidates finances
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powe...blishment/
Not good at all for Bush, Kasich, Christie (and Walker, holy cow he spent money like it was monopoly money). Decent news for others including Carson, Trump, Fiorina and the two main Democrats. In general though, Clinton and Sanders have a lot more money to spend than anyone else.

Bush raised more than anybody but Carson. He's just spending it fast.
And not getting a lot of results in the short run.

Bush wants Rubio out so he can take a chunk of those votes. The problem is that Rubio is doing well and raising money.
It wouldnt surpise me that Carson wins Iowa. He's the only campaign as of a few weeks ago that had an organization in each of the Iowa areas.

Rubio isn't raising very much. Look at the numbers.
But yes, Bush wants Rubio out. As I said before, among the expected contenders, Bush is doing about as well as could be expected. Walker and Perry are out. Kasich and Christie have little support and its shrinking, not growing. Graham, Jindal, Santorum, etc. have almost no support. Huckabee and Paul are slipping and have small support.
Its really just Bush, Rubio and Cruz and I don't think Bush is worried about Cruz. There's a big contrast there. But then there are Trump, Carson and Fiorina to deal with and those are the unexpected contenders.
Unless everyone stays in, I don't think Trump or Carson have a chance and it will be Bush, Rubio or Cruz in the end.

Stephen Colbert last night. "Rubio raised 13 million dollars in the Third Quarter. And conversely, Lincoln Chafee announced he has just raised his third quarter."

Rubio is overstating what he had and what he has raised.
Article criticizes his campaign staff and priorities, including a lack of time in early states. Since he's not spending any time in the senate, its kind of hard to know what he is doing.
Just sounds like another first term senator trying to do something he lacks the experience to do. We have one of those in the White House right now.
