Rubio is personable and knowlegeable and a good speaker.

However, in the Wallace interview, he did fumble a few words and responses. Those would be overlooked at this time. If, however, he became the VP nominee, those kinds of phrase-fumbles could be disastrous. He would be better served by taking a moment to think and formulate a response, rather than rendering an off-the-cuff commentary.

That just shows up his current level of political inexperience.

Biden/Obama can get away with those kinds of blunders, as the MSM covers for them. The Republican VP nominee would be skewered for similar blunders.

Conclusion: Rubio needs more political experience before he is ready for the national stage. [Recall how they literally destroyed Palin in 2008.]

I actually watched the entire interview and didn’t notice any fumbles.

Got specifics?

One big difference: Rubio is their boy. Palin was being undermined by members of her own party. Rubio has less experience than Palin with less charisma. But he has a pretty face and he’s the right demographic. They will circle the wagons and protect him - something they never did for Palin.

Romney and Rubio together look like Batman and Robin to me.

The millionaire and his boy sidekick.

If together they can save the world - I guess that’s okay. And maybe that’s the image the GOP is going for.
