Forceful, unapologetic articulation is a new requirement for Republicans: it is not only a good track record or voting record, conservatives also demand the ability to forcefully articulate conservative principles. Just ask Texas Governor Rick Perry.

Conservatives and hispanics need Rubio's voice.

I don’t like Marco Rubio—never have. He just seems squishy to me, like someone who’s a bit too on the suggestible side for my comfort.

Too bad he’s not a natural born citizen. Or do we not care about that if it’s someone on our side of the aisle?

PIPA & SOPA. This neocon is the Senator from Disney. If you want McCain without the war record, support this party hack.

I don’t think conservatives want to treat Hispanics like Dems have treated blacks. Do we?
Let’s all be Americans.

Didn’t McCain try this with Palin and we know how that worked out!

Little early to draft a VP, especially when there is no clear-cut nominee.

Why, he’s a big Romney lover. That disqualifies him. Glad we found out just in time what he’s made of.

Little early to draft a VP, especially when there is no clear-cut nominee. Well, Rubio conveniently stated, just today, that the winner of FL will be the next nominee...how about that?

I’ve held the suspicion that Romney has had Rubio on his short list for some time now. He’s young, charismatic, and would help win in the key state of Florida. I would also point out, rather cynically, that Mitt is probably thinking he can woo conservatives over with Rubio, throwing out the old line “it’s a balanced ticket.”
No idea if Gingrich has the same thoughts about Rubio in the 2 slot.

Wasn't he just claiming that the Massachusetts flip-flopping liberal is “conservative”?
To: donna
Let’s all be Americans...that respect the Natural Born Citizen requirement of the office he might hold if something happened to the POTUS.

If it’s gonna be Romney, at least have one set of testicles on the ticket.

Had great hopes for him when he first emerged in the national radar, but not much of fan now. Get the sense his conservatism would be up for compromise. Best not to go for someone because they are Hispanic or Black. Best to go for the content of their conservatism.

And he said the winner of Florida would be the GOP nominee.

Conservatives and hispanics need Rubio's voice.
Since the implication of this article is that Mitt is going to be the nominee, and since Rubio seems to be equivocating about Mitt and furthermore and most importantly, since this is a conservative site, please just go pound sound and go elsewhere if you are going to push anything remotely supporting Mitt Romney the Progressive liberal.
Just
Go
Away.
We are not supporting pretend republicans this election cycle, or did you not get the message?
To: Utmost Certainty
I’ve seen that “suggestible” description used too many times by you...what ever it means...I like Rubio.
