From the NYTimes.com:
Jeb Bush’s increasingly serious and public examination of a run for president has shaken the ranks of establishment Republican donors and fund-raisers who had planned to back Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey in 2016, forcing many of them to rethink their allegiance to the embattled governor.
In private conversations that are now seeping into public view, some of them are signaling to Mr. Christie’s camp that, should Mr. Bush enter the race, their first loyalty would be to him, not to Mr. Christie, according to interviews with more than two dozen of them.
It is now time for me to make this statement — so that those from the GOP who may occasionally cruise by make no mistake whatsoever:
I will not vote for Jeb Bush. End of statement. If I have to write in my preference, I will. But I will not vote for Jeb Bush for president. No more Clintons, no more Bushes.
Period.
