Bloomberg: “Jeb Bush recently called himself a ‘gladiator’ because he has been on the road so much this year raising money for a possible presidential run. With a goal of banking $100 million by the end of March, the former Florida governor’s intense schedule–60 fundraisers in three months–is paying off: He has locked down much of 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s fundraising team in the three weeks since Romney decided not to make another run.”
