Brett Doster Likes Jeb Bush Over Mitt Romney for 2016

With both former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., and former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., looking at running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, Brett Doster, one of the leading Republican strategists in the Sunshine State, is putting his chips behind the former Florida governor.

Phil Ammann over at Florida Politicscaught up with Doster for his opinion on who would be a better candidate in Florida. Doster, despite having been a key part of Romneys Florida team in 2012, left no room for doubt: he thinks Bush has a far better shot in 2016.

Mitt Romney was a great leader for our party in 2012, Doster noted in an email to Florida Politics, but Jeb is my man, and Florida is Jeb Bush country.
