How it works


The old school Republican's best hope, Jeb!, has a SuperPAC that is busy doing the grunt work to prepare him for the hard fights ahead. Just recently, the NYTimes caught up with some of the SuperPAC operatives beavering away in the archives of John Kasich.
As its favored candidate strains to improve languishing poll numbers, the “super PAC” supporting Jeb Bush is keeping busy.

The group appears to be targeting two of Mr. Bush’s rivals who have gained a measure of traction with establishment Republicans: Gov. John R. Kasich of Ohio and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.

The super PAC, Right to Rise, dispatched representatives to Ohio to scour documents related to Mr. Kasich at a public library in Westerville. “Jeb’s oppo team’s in OH now rifling thru my archives,” Mr. Kasich posted on Twitter on Thursday night.

And in Iowa on Thursday, the group sent a tracker to gather footage at an event for Mr. Rubio. The tracker was asked to leave, according to Politico, which reported the move.

A spokesman for Right to Rise, Paul Lindsay, said the group was “collecting routine, issue-based research on all the candidates in the race.”

“Iowa and central Ohio are also wonderful places to visit this time of year,” he added, calling the breakfast at a Fairfield Inn in Westerville “fantastic.”
Business as usual off the campaign trail.
