It’s not going to be Rubio. It is going to be Susana Martinez. She is seen as less controversial by the GOP-E and she appeals to more demographics (Mexican Hispanics and women).

Rubio MAY-—MAY get a cabinet post. But that’s it.

I hope you’re right.

That is a fascinating point. IDK much about Martinez, but if she was to run as a Chicana woman, not just a generic Hispanic, that would be mighty interesting. Way more Chicanos than Cubans in the electorate. Think California...Texas...New Mexico...Arizona...Nevada...Colorado...Illinois(largest Hispanic city in the US is Chicago, most of them from Mexico...)

No Hispanics!

Did Romney directly place three of his top 2008 campaign operatives into Rubio's Senate office, or Martinez?

RCP/Time, Jan. 4, 2011:

"Florida Sen.-elect Marco Rubio announced his top staff, which included three former Romney campaign hands. Sally Canfield, who served as Romney's policy adviser, will be Rubio's legislative director and chief policy adviser; Joe Pounder, who was in charge of rapid response for Romney, will be Rubio's communications director; and Alex Burgos, who directed specialty media for Romney, will serve as director of media affairs for Rubio."

It will be Rubio.
