Former U.S. House Majority Leader and Contract With America author Dick Armey: "Marco Rubio is a champion of freedom and an inspiring leader for the next generation of the conservative movement. His track record and conservative convictions are a breath of fresh air in a party looking for new leaders to advance the principles of limited government, lower taxes and economic liberty

That would be great but the rumor is that Marco is going to run for Florida Attorney General instead....stepping stone to the governorship, and then.....he COULD. GO. ALL. THE. WAY!
The rumor is wrong. Rubio denied this a couple of days ago on his Twitter account.
I think if she does endorse anyone(Not sure if she will endorse anyone in this race) that she endorses Mark Rubio, especially considering all the nasty comments Crist has said about Sarah as of late. I twittered with Sarah telling her to check out Rubio and that she hopefully endorses him. Not sure if she is aware of who he is, so she should read up on him, get an idea who he is, and back him up. He seems like a good guy and a Conservative that we could really use in our party
OK, I hadn’t heard that. I wouldn’t discount it entirely yet, though.
So do I!
If the lovely Sarah Palin talks with Marc Rubio, I cannot imagine her not endorsing him.
It only took me one meeting listening to his agenda for me. On the back of my truck is a Marco Rubio for Senate decal on one side and the other side SARAH 2012.
I hope she does talk to him. He is not someone well known so I am not sure if she is aware of who he is. I think Sarah will be very careful and will do research on every person she endorses. I have twittered her with info on Rubio but I am not sure if she even reads her twitter messages(Since I can imagine she gets thousands per day) does anyone know if she has even spoken to Rubio before
That is a beautiful truck, there can be no doubt :)
I think Rubio is the real deal. I know Sarah Palin is.
I think he is the real deal too. I haven’t heard of Sarah even talking to him. I wish there was a way for us to get info to her about him, so that she can learn more about him(If she doesn’t know already) I saw a poll somewhere today that Rubio is leading Crist, I can’t stand Charlie Crist, I hope Rubio kicks his ass and I don’t believe the rumor is true about Rubio going for Attorney General, at least I hope that is not true, because then, we are stuck with Crist
Good move, but Rubio needs more endorsements, and much, much more money.
Tim Walberg could use Sarah Palin’s endorsement as well.
The GOP isn’t going to build a conservative coalition so we need to do it ourselves. Guys like Rubio, Toomey, and Walberg need to look at working together on some level.
Hmmm. Atty. General would be a good position from which to run for Governor. Beats the heck out of Senator!
“IMO, the only way Rubio drops out to run for FL AG is if his fundraising levels are just so poor he has no choice.”
A few fundraising rallies by Frau Palin could erase that problem in a hurry!
Rubio is already the grassroots candidate. If Palin could increase grassroots donations for Rubio, that would be great, but the goal should simultaneously be to peel off Crist’s big-money donors.
“I think Sarah will be very careful and will do research on every person she endorses.”
I totally agree. And I’ll bet she is going to rightfully demand the tenets of conservatism are followed before she commits to campaigning for them. She can be a real force for a resurgence of conservatives in 2010.
