I think Fl will ultimately be safe. I worry about big labor’s influence in OH, though.

portman may be the magic piece of the puzzle.

Rubio? Too early to tell either way.

Bush? Not in this lifetime. A 'Bush' could take Florida, but would no doubt cause a loss everywhere else.

But...... what the hell do I know?

So we legalize the children through the DREAM act, and then when they become citizens they can sponsor their parents, siblings, etc to immigrate, to reunite their families. And so on.

The inverse auction continues -- the two parties competing to see how cheaply they can sell something as precious as US citizenship.

I do not see what the big attraction is for Marco Rubio

When he was elected FOX news was All Marco, All the time- I even wrote letters to them asking if they knew that there were other races around the country

He seems like a nice enough guy and good conservative, but I DO NOT want another young kid running the country

Let him get about 20 years experience

“[FL Vital To Win: Jeb Bush or Rubio?”

If FL is vital to win: then LTC West would be the best choice, he can carry a much larger load than either of the others.

The LA Times can be expected to keep the public confused. Rubio is not eligible. He knows it. Every legislator knows it. Obama’s crew knows it better than most of the public.

From the Washington Post, The Fact Checker, Michael Dobbs in May of 2008, Dobbs cites Larry Tribe, Obama’s constitutional law professor, law school adviser, member of his campaign committee, and beneficiary of Elena Kagan’s protection of his blatant plagiarism in a published book, and Ted Olson, who was obviously for sale after the death of his wonderful wife in the Pentagon plane crash on 9/11:

"he McCain campaign has consulted two leading jurists, Theodore Olsen and Laurence Tribe, on the constitutional issues. Olsen and Tribe were on opposite sides of the 2000 Bush vs Gore Supreme Court case, but they see eye to eye on the question of McCain's eligibility for the presidency. They argue that McCain is a natural born citizen because the United States exercised sovereignty over the Panama Canal at the time of his birth on August 29, 1936, he was born on a U.S. military base, and both of his parents were U.S. citizens. The Olsen-Tribe opinion is available here."

The Tribe Olson letter is in the Congressional record. It was to provide talking points for Congress and the media when no legal confirmation of McCain, in a half dozen hearings, was ever established. SR 511 has no legal force. The key phrase “... he was born on a U.S. military base, and both of his parents were U.S. citizens,” is Mr. Dobbs correct interpretation of the Tribe-Olson letter. Every US Senator signed agreement with SR 511. Every US Senator could claim they supported Senator McCain's qualities as a potential president, in spite of his unfortunate failure to satisfy constitutional requirements for just the president Twenty five attempts to amend Article II Section 1 had failed, as recently as 2003, Orrin Hatch to enable Schwarzenegger's eligibilty, 2004, Conyer's attempt to enable Obama - twice - and five other amendment attempt between 2002 and 2007. McCain provided cover for Obama, both of whose parents were not U.S. citizens.

The left knows the truth. Democrat law professor Gabriel Chin wrote the definitive "Why Senator John McCain Can Not Be President" in May of 2008. For the NYT, WaPo, and the LA Times, the end justifies the means. If Rubio runs, another ineligible candidate, the media and the Republicans will have a good reason to maintain the barricade from the truth of the Constitution, and the law. Here is the Supreme Court's crystalline citation, precedent, that simply affirms the meaning written in our Constitution, all of which meanings depend upon the common law as understood by our framers;, and none of which appear in the body of the Constitution:

“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”

People interested in preserving the interpretation of the Constitution by the press and political parties rather than the words which still survive on paper, but are often rewritten by activists on the Internet - Google, Justia, Cornell Law - will hope that Rubio runs. Too bad Rubio won't speak up and explain, but he is dependent for his political future upon Republicans who selected Mitt Romney and ran the patently ineligible McCain, whose ineligibility was all over the the ‘literate’ press for years beginning just before his failed attempt in the 2000 presidential election.

One could legitimately ask if McCain, whose McCain-Feingold bill was generously supported by George Soros, and some of whose legal support, defending law suits challenging his eligibility, were provided by Soros, had an arrangement with Democrats, and/or with Soros? Soros’ support of far left causes is without question. Rubio won't dare talk openly. His political future would be finished. What else can a politician do for the fincancial rewards now available to crony capitalists? What else can most politicians do? While there are no bets on who will take on correcting this violation of our fundamental law, Rubio has nothing to gain by wading in. This sounds like a predictable, but clever, tactic to try to expand the schism between “checkered pants” Republicans and constitutional originalists, or even anyone who believes in its continued relevance.

Look at the trouble a corrupt justice department can cause Ted Nugent, or minor White House official, Scooter Libby, while having a confession to the crime in hand before even announcing their intent to prosecute, or digging into ancient IRS records to quiet the only congressman to publicly question Obama’s legitimacy, Georgia's Nathan Deal. Corruption has alsways been with us. Rubio is probably smarter than to provide bait to keep the inevitible discovery of the truth of Obama’s constitutional ineligibility quiet for another four years. This time it won't take one hundred thirty years to expose a usurper (Chester Arthur concealed his British subject father by hiding his Vermont Birth certificate), but with both parties complicit, the Internet has prevented complete suppression of the truth. Expect that prospective dictators will do their best to suppress the 1st Amendmentment.
