I am in favor of Rubio, but be prepared for the outcry from birthers.
Apparently, Mark Levin has no eligibility issues with Rubio (neither do I).
I would also expect outcry for Rubio being an amnesty pimp, a traitor who endorsed Mitt Romney early on and his covering for Muzzies against Bachmann.
“I am in favor of Rubio”
me too:
1. He’s brilliant. Maybe the smartest guy in the Senate.
2. Extremely articulate; very, very fast on his feet. Would be a formidable campaigner and debater.
3. Young and energetic.
4. Conservative.
5. Drop dead gorgeous (and believe me, this DOES make a favorable impression on quite a few of the ladies.)
6. Of Cuban Hispanic descent and from Florida. (Romney really needs some geographic and/or ethnic/gender balance for his ticket.)
A VP candidate like Rubio would tie the Commie Stream Press in knots. And I think a pick like Rubio would generate significant buzz and would be seen as a bit out of the box (but not too far out of the box). It would signal that Romney is capable of shaking things up a bit. Not to mention the beneficial effects regarding Florida’s EVs. Plus I think it would get the Hispanic community paying a bit more attention to the election and Romney, and in a good way at that. And finally, I think Rubio would present a very serious headache to the Obama campaign, in more ways than one.
“I am in favor of Rubio”
I should have fallaciously added:
“Romney/Rubio and Tippecanoe”
At any rate, “Romney/Rubio” has a ring to it, don’t you think?
Levin was recently writing two books at once. One was a book about the Constitution. The other was a book about his dead dog. Apparently, the dog died after eating Article II out of Levin's copy of The Constitution.
This Levin guy evidently has no problems with anyone's eligibility. I have a problem with Obama's eligibility, and that of Rubio. Unless Levin or yourself are cashing a SCOTUS paycheck, my opinion is as good as yours or Levin's.
Since the right-wing "Conservative Talk Radio" people are going to remain silent, the very least they could do is recognize it as an issue that concerns a goodly number of their listeners, and ask the courts to get off their duffs and consider it.
