Florida Politics - Campaigns & Elections. Lobbying & Government.

If it’s too early to anoint a presidential front-runner among the Republicans, the national media are obviously treating Jeb Bush as one. Among the in-depth articles already up and running is a Boston Globe inquiry into his teenage years at the elite Phillips Academy nearly half a century ago. Another is a biting review on […]

Jeb Bush is the front-runner for the nation’s first primary election to be held next January in New Hampshire. The WMUR Granite State Poll by the University of New Hampshire shows Bush with 17 percent support, followed by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker with 12 percent, and Chris Christie, Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee are at 9 […]

Yes, Jeb Bush gave a well-covered speech at the Detroit Economic Club about economic inequality, but he also gave Ron Fournier of National Journal something else: an unconstrained semi-soliloquy reminiscent of a dorm room bull session at Washington & Lee, in which Jeb talked animatedly about his first political love: ideas of the Right. If […]

In the weekly category of winners and losers in the GOP 2016 presidential sweepstakes, Jeb Bush is considered to have won the week (although Scott Walker continues to feel the love from the grassroots). Jeb’s only real contribution was a relatively well-received speech in Detroit, where he won plaudits from some observers simply by showing up. […]

Jeb Bush stepped through the public-policy looking glass this week, sharing his inside-out “new vision” for America, where undeniable facts slip through the cracks and fall harmlessly by the wayside of his 2016 presidential ambition. Posing as some sort of newfangled conservative populist, Bush stepped up to the podium to address the Detroit Economic Club […]

Jeb Bush‘s political team is headed up by North Florida’s own Sally Bradshaw, who as Jason Horowitz writes in the New York Times is no stranger to the terrain: If Karl Rove was known as the charismatic George W. Bush’s brain, Ms. Bradshaw is the brainier Bush’s muscle. As Jeb Bush’s facilitator, enforcer and sounding board for 20 years, […]

Early risers who cannot get enough of Florida Politics (both the state’s political landscape and the website) can put their addiction to good use at Sayfie Review, the “online bible for Florida news junkies.” Well, at least one of the online bibles for Florida news junkies. In an email to subscribers, Sayfie Media announced it […]

As Lake Worth Sen. Jeff Clemens taught us once again last week by announcing his bid for Senate Democratic leader in 2018, there’s no such thing as ‘too soon’ in the term-limited game theory of the Florida Legislature. In that spirit, Republican state Sen. Tom Lee has filed to run for his Hillsborough County-based District 24 seat […]
