Jeb Bush and Conservative Political Action Conference

: OXON HILL, Md. - The hostility to a potential Jeb Bush presidential run was evident everywhere at a conservative convention this week: the boos at the mere mention of his name, the trash-talking from firebrand radio hosts, and a few dozen people exiting in protest as he entered the room Friday, according to Brandon Sun. There were some sarcastic cheers, and Bush acknowledged them. "For those that made an, 'Ooooh,' sound, I'm marking you down as neutral," he joked during a question-and-answer session in front of more than 1,000 people. "I'm hoping I'm your second choice." Bush is expected to mount a fearsome challenge for the 2016 Republican nomination. Jeb Bush speaks during the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Md., Friday, Feb. 27, 2015. Big-money donors are lining up for the ex-Florida governor and presidential son-and-brother, with loving attention being lavished upon him by the organs of the party business wing like the Wall Street Journal. This is the Conservative Political Action Conference — the annual gathering associated with Ronald Reagan ascent in national politics in the 1970s and still billed today as the biggest annual gathering of the right-leaning grassroots army that will pound the pavement, knock on doors, and get out the vote on election day. But this isn't Wall Street. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
