Fred- Last night, Marco Rubio won the Pasco County GOP's straw poll, 73-9, illustrating the growing support for our movement at the grassroots level. The St. Petersburg Times described the result as "a sign of the governor's poor standing among some of his historically strongest supporters." They go on to note, Pasco is just one county removed from his home in Pinellas, for one, and the Pasco REC also endorsed Crist early in his 2006 GOP primary against Tom Gallagher." We've got a long way to go until Primary Day, but victories like this help demonstrate the growing momentum behind Marco's campaign. The national media is also starting to take notice. Appearing on "MSNBC Live with Carlos Watson" earlier today, Marco was introduced as "a man who might be the answer to the GOP's problems." He then made his case to a national audience about why conservative principles are needed now more than ever. I hope you will take a moment watch the video of Marco's segment at http://MarcoRubio.com and forward it on to your friends and family. Proud to Stand, Brian Seitchik, Campaign Manager |

John Zogby and “GOP” Consultant Mark McKinnon claim that the growing demographics of young people and minorities will kill conservativism in the future. Well, here is a conservative Latino who could make the case for conservatism to young people and minorities.
Here's the man who is the answer to the GOP's problems
Demographics are not static but I do believe that we need conservatives regardless of stripe. I don’t believe in calculating like Democrats do based on race and ethnicity but I do believe we are missing opportunities in minority communities simply because we aren’t showing up at their churches and community events. People can’t figure out they agree with you don’t talk to them. I don’t know how many times I’ve talked with a black person and we are agreement on nearly every issue except one and that is the fact they are a Democrat and vote that way blindly.
I love Sarah. Marco needs Sarah. She should endorse him.
Uh, that’s no man.
Fl ping
Just putting forth someone different is the same as trashing her.
Tell me again why we should trust Ms.NBC to promote the answer to the GOP's problems.
Unfortunately, I agree that our young people and minorities seems convinced that equal outcomes is a right. And never understand the fraud and disincentives that go along with it. Hence, it is going to be hard to have a conservative message when everyone is relying on Aunt Samantha to take care of them and crush their “enemies.”
I was at a dinner last night where educated people, Obama campaigners all, talk sickeningly about how much they love Obama and the New Congress. I tried to educate them in a sensible way and scored points on healthcare, taxes, civil rights (for everyone, not just the perceived losers), etc. By the end of the dinner/wine/beer, they were talking like Ron Paul.
But then they returned to their zombie state of how happy they are that O won the election and its a new future for the US. These are all wealthy people, wealthy enough that they are still wealthy after O takes most of their money from them. “Ah, we may have to give up our house on Nantucket, but we still have our houses in La Jolla and Australia.” ELITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They make me sick!
These were our neighbors in our new neighborhood.
Funny, the 8th grade boy is going to a prep school in New Hampshire and was gushing about O and how he campaigned for him. His father says “He is so convincing. Try your Obama sale pitch on everyone.”
He did and I had a lot of fun. The kid was really rattled and the father was hurt. Sorry, but Liberal Lunacy has to be exposed at every step,
ditto.
I trust Marco Rubio. I never trust MSNBC.
yes.
they vote for “equal outcomes”, deluded into thinking that they’ll get something from the democrats.
but the highest levels of unemployment are in zipcodes that voted for obama.
I don't even know you and I trust you more than Ms.NBC.
How well do you know Rubio and what else can you tell us about him?
If the GOP is looking for one person to be THE answer, then the GOP is pretty much done. We need so much more than one personality.
Keep up the good fight and I am glad you found a good candidate and have chosen to go with him.
Amen. We need about 10 solid Conservative Senators and about 40 Representatives.
