For months, Bush has been holding political fundraisers, delivering speeches and hiring advisers, but also coyly denying he's made a decision about whether to seek the White House in 2016. In one case, he slipped up and acknowledged the ruse: "I'm running for president in 2016, and the focus is gonna be about how we — if I run — how do you create high, sustained economic growth, where more people have a chance at earned success?" he said on NBC.

So we've seen Bush crisscrossing the country raising money for a super PAC called Right to Rise that's believed to have raised $100 million that will likely get spent helping likely candidate Bush and attacking his enemies. Bush isn't alone: Virtually every serious Republican candidate for office, including Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Rand Paul, ex-Sen. Rick Santorum and Dr. Ben Carson is affiliated with one super PAC or another.

Interesting read on how Jeb and other Republicans are making a mockery of election laws.
