It would be an even sadder end to a sad campaign if his own mother didn't do something to promote his candidacy. But there's nothing about that nasty old bat that can help him - not that anything could at this point.

for clearing the air and settling who we should vote for.

BTW Babs, since Jeb! was such a popular dealer in prep school and college, do you think the stoner could score us some weed?
