Rubio has learned the treacherous ways of politics in the Senate.

Never take a stand, try to have it both ways.

This Republican race for the nomination is the most important in a generation.

Not since Reagan bitch slapped that elitist former CIA director in the 1980 primary has the Republican party faced such an important choice in the primary.

Rubio has to man up and make a choice, it is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

Rubio can choose the populism of Newt who is currently riding much of the same populist movement that established the Tea Party that put Rubio in office or he can choose the elitism of Romney who may have endorsed him but did so for the most cynical reasons. In my view, Romney endorsed Rubio because he saw a chance to endorse someone with star quality who was culturally diverse which is not often the case in Republican politics.

When Romney looked at Crist it was like looking in the mirror and he made the smart move by endorsing the Hispanic with star quality over another empty suit who had worn out his welcome mat in a changing Republican Party.

I think I remember that guy. Kind of a globalist. Always had a sneer, very condescending. High pitched grating voice . . . Always urging more cooperation between the parties. Came from . . . Stunkport?

I wonder how things would have fared for the conservative movement if he ever had become President?
