Rubio was the lesser of evils....him or Charlie Crist! The TEA Party did support him but he is no conservative.
That was my memory, that Rubio was our guy when he was running against Crist, but that he wasn’t anywhere close to the “Crown Prince” of the tea party, as the article described him.
He strikes me as more along the lines of a typical mainstream rino, not hard left like Romney though.
