I sincerely feel that if Palin were to run and win the nomination, Rubio would be in the top 3 of possible names. You get FL, Hispanics, full conservative, and an absolutely EXCELLENT (if not THE BEST) and MOST ELOQUENT speaker (without a teleprompter).
One of the problems our state rep brought up is that he would be leaving his term as Senator early leaving the same bad taste in voters minds that Palin supposedly did(which I don’t buy)but many think its too early for him to run as VP. I guess we shall see.
