Well there is this other candidate from Florida who ignites interest…..Senator Marco Rubio….rsk
Even family loyalists are yet to commit to the former Florida governor
MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa—Jeb Bush likely will have the most money of any Republican running for president in 2016. He leads the field or shares a top position in national polling.
But so far in Iowa, Mr. Bush is a laggard, tied for fifth place in early opinion surveys.
When the former Florida governor arrives on Wednesday for his first Iowa rally as a declared presidential candidate, he’ll encounter a Republican voting pool whose most conservative members are wary of some of his policy stances. But even some of Iowa’s longtime Bush family loyalists are hesitant to push for a third Bush president or say they are holding off until the campaign shows it is committed to competing in the state with the first nominating contest.
State Rep. Mary Ann Hanusa worked in the White House for President George H.W. Bush, and under President George W. Bush she led the Office of Presidential Personal Correspondence, a role that included responsibility for vetting the letters the president signed personally. “I was the only Iowan working in the West Wing on 9/11,” she said.
But Ms. Hanusa isn’t a Jeb Bush supporter. She said she met him for the first time in March on his first visit to Iowa, and Mr. Bush, she said, still has to work to win support from her and others in the state.
