Jeb Bush, who earlier this week announced that he would "actively explore" a presidential run in 2016, has been notably less gung-ho about attacking Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic candidate, than his Republican peers. A detail in a story by Politico's Maggie Haberman might explain why:

How hard he will hit Clinton remains to be seen. He frowned on Bill Clinton's scandal involving Monica Lewinsky, according to people who've spoken with him since the former president left office, but unlike other Republicans has not attacked Clinton over it. His father has forged a deep bond with Bill Clinton through their shared worked on international relief efforts. [Politico]
