AM-BUSH in the everglades.........Jeb Bush, the candidate's brother and governor of Florida, told reporters he was under no illusion that he could easily deliver Florida — despite its recent tendency to vote Republican in state and national elections. Clinton won here four years ago. "It will be tough," Jeb Bush said, suggesting his brother's loss of his once-comfortable lead in Florida reflects a general tightening of the race nationwide. The governor of Florida didn't actively campaign for his brother earlier, keeping a low profile in the race. Some Republicans in the state have complained in recent weeks that the Bush campaign took the state for granted, thinking their overall lead and the fact that his brother was governor would make Florida a safe bet. Jeb Bush even suggested his brother might have to assemble a 270 majority in the electoral college without relying on Florida's 25 electoral votes — a daunting feat that would essentially require Bush to carry almost all the other battleground states.
