Over the last decade, there have been few Florida GOP political consultants as successful as Brett Doster. Official campaign finance reports link him and his firm, Front Line Strategies, to more than a dozen winning statewide or legislative campaigns, including that of Attorney General Pam Bondi and Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. Even if state records […]

The highest profile election in America right now arguably is the Alabama Senate race between Democrat Doug Jones and Republican Roy Moore. With multiple women emerging from decades ago to depict Moore as aggressively pursuing underaged women, to such a degree that Moore was banned from the Gadsden Mall, Moore is in deep political trouble. Republicans have […]

Florida voters have no say in the race for a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama. All we can do is watch in amazement and wonder what is coming next.

The first TV ad in the race for Florida’s 4th Congressional District is taking a hit for being inauthentic. The ad in question is “Rawhide” by Republican Hans Tanzler. Operatives from opposing campaigns have suggested “Rawhide” was filmed at Tanzler’s Gainesville-area ranch rather than in CD 4. On Tuesday, Tanzler’s campaign fessed up. “You need a lot […]

After first reading the press release distributed by top Florida Republican political consultant Brett Doster announcing his firm’s new service offerings, I thought of Samuel L. Jackson. “Check out the big brain on Brad,” Jackson’s character, Jules Winnfield, says during one of the most pivotal scenes in Pulp Fiction. “Check out the balls on Brett” is what I thought to […]
