U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida says he is running for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, the Associated Press reported on Monday.

If he was not doing well, wouldn’t he still be able to drop out of the presidential race and run for Senate in 2016.
I am not sure I understand what the colors and numbers mean. Can someone explain. Not a betting person.
The Twelfth Amendment makes it difficult for both the presidential and vice presidential candidates to be from the same state when that state has a large number of Electoral college votes.
Unless I am mistaken, the Florida primary is fairly early in the process.
It’s from Special Report on FOX. A segment called Candidate Casino where the panelists bet with $100 in chips. There are Krauthammer’s bets.
As I mentioned earlier, Cheney got around this in 2000 by declaring his legal residence in Wyoming even though he was living in Texas. Not sure if Rubio could pull this off, but Jeb could probably claim a legal residence at any Bush family property in ME, TX, or wherever else.
Rubio desperately wanted to be Romney's running mate. He's all about personal ambition, not ideology or principles.

This does not help in him getting my vote.
“So is he going to get the La Raza endorsement or are we going to be told he’s “not Hispanic enough”?”
Oh he’s plenty Hispanic. Because he’s pro-amnesty. Cruz, however, is not because he is pro-United States.
See how their ‘logic’ works?
“We all pay more in taxes that the majority of people earn in this country. More than 51% of people present in this country (many not even citizens) receive money from Uncle Sugar. About half of Adults earn a living at all.”
The numbers on ‘entitlements’ and who is supporting the rest of the country is dismal. If you are a white male, you can support everyone with the taxes stolen from you but will still be discriminated against and vilified.
Hubby paid around $40K in combined confiscatory taxes last year. So this year, we found a way that we can live with to quit feeding Big Government and to be ready for the unavoidable collapse. See my tagline.
In spite of the "Hispanic" and "Latino" hype from the Left, there really isn't that much affinity between Cuban-Americans (who are typically middle class or affluent) and Mexicans (either Chicanos or Mexican immigrants), who are overwhelmingly poor. Until recently, Cuban-Americans were overwhelmingly Republican, while Chicanos vote Democratic. The only thing they have in common is their language.
Having said that, you're right in that the acceptability of a candidate to La Raza has more to do with the amnesty issue than anything else. Jeb Bush is basically an honorary "Hispanic" too.
“Until recently, Cuban-Americans were overwhelmingly Republican, while Chicanos vote Democratic. “
They’re not anymore? I thought they were the one smart Hispanic group and came here to actually be Americans, as opposed to just to take from us while retaining their own culture and having disdain for ours.
That would be sad if that too has changed.
The point being, however, that Cuban-American voting patterns aren't all that different from Anglo-American voters, in contrast to other "minorities" who are disproportionately Democrat voters (including, oddly enough, many Americans from south and east Asia, in spite of doing quite well economically)
