Mr. Diaz, who seared John Kerry in 2004 and Mitt Romney in 2007 with charges of flip-flopping on issues, and other Bush aides are determined to develop new lines of attack against Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, the two Republicans who represent the greatest threats to Mr. Bush’s nomination, according to his advisers and allies.
The Bush campaign sees Mr. Rubio as vulnerable on his Senate record, which is short on legislative success and includes shifts on immigration, and on his history of managing his finances. And they regard Mr. Walker, too, as susceptible to attack on issues on which he has changed his positions, according to the advisers. By hiring Mr. Diaz, Mr. Bush wanted to send a clear signal that “the culture of the Bush operation will now be a Pickett’s Charge engagement campaign with his main opponents,” according to one Bush ally.

Bush hired a new campaign manager. He's ready to get tough with his opponents. Comparing himself to General Pickett, Bush is finished making dumb mistakes and plans a hard charging campaign against his Republican opponents.
Clinton made her first major campaign speech (http://www.c-span.org/video/?326471-1/hillary-clinton-presidential-campaign-announcement) today, drawing the largest crowd (http://www.politicususa.com/2015/06/13/hillary-clinton-draws-biggest-crowd-2016-hopeful-nyc-rally.html) of any candidate so far for the 2016 election. Bush needs to break that record tomorrow.
