A Bush aide said on Wednesday that Bob Paduchik, who was the Ohio
campaign manager for the 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns of
Jeb's brother George W. Bush, is joining the Bush campaign.
Paduchik also managed Ohio Republican Senator Rob Portman's campaign
for the Senate in 2010, among other political jobs in the state.
In addition, the Bush team said that Bush, fighting for a strong
showing in the South Carolina Republican primary on Saturday, had
secured the help of long-time Virginia Republican fundraiser Bobbie
Kilberg.

Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who dropped out of the race after
finishing far back in the pack in the Feb. 9 New Hampshire primary.
