Desperation Second Act: George W. Bush: ‘Please caucus for Jeb Bush’

(Washington Post) - A new flier for Jeb Bush's presidential campaign that started hitting mailboxes Thursday includes a letter from former president George W. Bush to Iowa Republicans.
The campaign of the former Florida governor confirmed Friday that the mail pieces should arrive before Monday's caucuses.
In the message, George W. Bush writes that his younger brother "is a tested leader who has made difficult decisions during times of crisis. After 9/11, Florida's economy took a big hit. Jeb acted decisively to rebuild it, ultimately making Florida the national leader in job creation."
"As someone who has sat in the Oval Office, I know Jeb has the leadership skills to grow our economy, fix Washington, strengthen our military and keep America safe," the former president writes.
"On Feb. 1, please caucus for Jeb Bush," he concludes.
It comes about a week after former first lady Barbara Bush sent a similar mailer to Republican voters and appeared in a promotional video for Jeb Bush's presidential campaign.  Read more.
