Bush dines with popular Republican counselor: Romney

Source: USA Today: On Politics

It seems like Mitt Romney has become the Republican Party’s most popular member, at least among the presidential candidates.

Jeb Bush had lunch Monday with Romney, following a holiday weekend in which the 2012 GOP presidential nominee hosted Chris Christie and Marco Rubio at his home in New Hampshire.

The Romney lunch took place at the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, and included former president George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush.

But isn't going to the person who lost the previous election for political counseling like going to Henry The Eighth for marriage counseling?
