Movement conservatives not yet on board the JEB! 2016 Express

Just as Karl's Rove's already tottering "kingmaker" reputation collapses over WMDGate, there is news out of New Hampshire that the Right is holding out on JEB!, at least for now.  New Hampshire State GOP Chairman David Gosselin recently sent a letter to many within the GOP offering a detailed argument against supporting Jeb Bush in the next presidential election cycle. Gosselin acknowledges that JEB! and his handlers will create the impression of grassroots support by making what he implies would be corrupt deals with certain right-of-center influence peddlers that would “give him the veneer of acceptability with this [the GOP conservative base] powerful but disorganized constituency.”

Gosselin goes on to suggest something very prescient in the wake of Rove's recent implosion: that Karl Rove’s handling of George W. Bush actually paved the way for the current administration.  It's striking it took him this long to figure that out.

Politico adds fuel to the fire of a potential grassroots rebellion over a money-forced JEB! nomination by noting that JEB! is on record saying he would support tax increases for deficit reduction [or maybe to fund another bank or insurance bailout, or a war with Iran?].
