I’m no insider...but I can’t help but think Rubio didn’t want to hop on a ship that he wasn’t sure is sound. He’s young and would probably go for it against somebody other than Obama (and for the real prize).
Let’s face it - Obama is one helluva campaigner and speachifier..:-(
“Obama is one helluva campaigner and speachifier”
Who told you that?

Yeah, the “you didn’t build that, somebody else made that happen” tirade was brilliant.
No he is not, he’s an IDIOT. he can read a teleprompter with only an occasional problem. Soetoro is an idiot and you will never get me to say anything good about him because there isn’t a single thing. He’s just a puppet.
Zero's speechifying talent wears thin rapidly, even without 3.5 years of negative achievement. Look to the left, say something, look to the right, say something ... blah, blah, blah. Total somnulence (unless the teleprompter gronks).
BS pal. Obama is damaged goods, and it’s fire sale time.
I suggest you tune in for Jimmuh Carter’s speech at the democrat convention. Take notes. There will be a test.
Possibly, but I doubt Rubio would have turned it down. Deep down he may be relieved for the reasons you mention, but if Romney offered it to him he would have accepted.
I can’t think of anyone who has ever rejected a VP offer.
Some guys have made it known ahead of time they’re not interested so it’s never offered. But no one says no if they’re asked out on to the floor.
As for Obama being a hell of a campaigner, I don’t know.
Sure, he was great when Bush had a 25% approval rating and the country was in a deep recession. Gore and Kerry could have been great campaigners in that situation. Kerry would have won easily in 2008, as would Gore.
I don’t know how good he is when the table isn’t perfectly set for him.
