Cillizza over at the Post says watch out for Rubio viz GOP 2016 nomination - not sure how much I agree with his various points - but definitely agree with one: next to Christie, Rubio is the most talented politician of the lot when measured relative to attributes required to overcome burden of media bias afflicting conservatives - if you're looking for someone who can change the way Republicans are perceived, who can effectively push back against the caricature spewed out endlessly by liberal media of conservatives being intolerant and unpleasant throwbacks to a time that has passed, then you're looking for either Christie or Rubio [although I still wonder why Nikki Haley never gets mentioned - must be something there I've missed]. I saw Rubio give a speech a few weeks ago that was, as far as the optics of 'broad appeal' go, brilliant - and Christie's the only other person in the potential field who can do that - which is the main reason why, hell, possibly the sole reason why I've been a backer of the big guy for awhile now. If Christie can't recover from the non-scandal the media conveniently blew up into a scandal, then I'll certainly be watching Rubio closely. Biggest knock I have against Rubio right now is lack of executive experience - and I really like executive experience.
