I think Ryan is the better choice. Some Freepers think Rubio would lure some Hispanic voters away from the Dem camp, but I think that would work about as well as an Alan West candidacy luring Dem black voters, namely not very well at all.
A Rubio candidacy would mainly attract Hispanic voters by an implicit promise of amnesty, or other favorable treatment of Hispanics, and would turn off the conservative base more than it would help with Hispanics.
Yes...Good points
Rubio also is Cuban...and that does not sell at all in the Mexican-Amer and Puerto Rican communities...not at all.
Rubio supporters like him because they support Illegal Alien Amnesty, plain and simple
Ryan was a good pick
The Cuban-American community is primarily composed of the middle class which fled Cuba rather than live under socialism. Yes, you are correct that they are not a natural Dem constituency.
