Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is considering a run for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Washington (CNN) -- Jeb Bush will be the star attraction at a Republican fundraiser in South Carolina next month, his first trip to an early presidential primary state as a possible contender for the Republican nomination in 2016.
Bush, the former governor of Florida and a darling of the Republican Party's donor class, will headline a closed-door October 23 fundraiser for South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, according to a copy of the invitation obtained by CNN.
The high-dollar event will be held at the Capital City Club in downtown Columbia, a short walk from the South Carolina State House, putting Bush in the room with some of the early primary state's biggest GOP movers and shakers.
How to campaign without campaigning
Couples who pledge $10,000 for Haley's re-election bid and the South Carolina Republican Party are offered the chance to participate in a "roundtable discussion" with Bush, while other GOP donors will be able to attend a private reception and photo op with the former governor. No public campaign events are scheduled.
Bush has political ties to the state, thanks to his brother George W. Bush's hard-fought primary victory there in 2000 over John McCain. Bush family loyalists and financial backers of that campaign have been angling to get Jeb Bush to visit South Carolina for months, but he has kept a relatively low profile for much of this midterm year despite pleas from admirers to step more aggressively into the political arena.

A recurring theme raised its head at last weekend's California Republican convention in Los Angeles: How to curtail the party's evaporation in the state. Fifteen years ago, 35 percent of registered voters were Republican. Today, 28 percent are.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), there to rally the crowd (and lay more groundwork for 2016), even cracked a joke about the party's woes, according to the Los Angeles Times. "He said he'd heard that Republicans might have suffered a few recent losses in California, drawing chuckles from a crowd that's grown accustomed to getting clobbered," the paper reported. In a separate column, the Times explored the party's challenges.
What's interesting about California, though, is that voters aren't abandoning the party to become Democrats. They're largely abandoning the party for either third parties -- or for no one.
This isn't a new phenomenon; it's been written about as a national trend in the past. But what's happening in California differs dramatically from trends in other states.
Here's the trend there, according to official records from the California Secretary of State.
Compare that with the much smaller state of Wyoming, which has records going back to the 1960s.
In California, the Republican party is eroding and it's mostly among decline-to-states, the state's I-don't-want-to-choose option. (Though not entirely; more on that below.) In Wyoming, the Democratic party has withered -- and Republicans have seen the entire gain.
Now, look at New York.
New York also has a no-party option, but a decent chunk of the drop in Republican registration has been eaten up by the Democrats -- thanks in large part to a surge in 2008. Since 2004, Republican registration dropped 3.5 points; Democratic registration went up by 3.
