All the endorsements in the world don't matter if the actual electorate refuses to vote for you. And this electorate is one that (currently) wants new, corruption-free blood in Washington that will actually get things done. And it's difficult to see them bowing down to Bush unless he fundamentally changes his strategy.

Also, keep in mind that the number of endorsements given out so far is less than the number given out at this point in 2012.
