Plainly put: he has to be!
In order to effectively cleave a wedge into the building hold the Democrats have on Latinos the GOP/Republicans/Conservatives will nominate Rubio. That will be the strategy.
The one issue will be the Tea Party-Conservatives.
Politico: The handsome 39-year-old Florida senator-elect has graced the covers of National Review, the Weekly Standard, Time and the New York Times Magazine. He's been called "the Great Right Hope" and "the Republican Obama." Sen. Jim DeMint, Rubio's key early ally, recently predicted he'd be president within five years. Rubio's Wikipedia page already has a "Presidential election 2012" section.
No Republican in memory has come to Washington with such fanfare. And none has had so much riding on a successful Capitol Hill rollout.
His advisers helped to draw up carefully calibrated post-election plans for Rubio, where after his humble, gracious Nov. 4 speech thanking the voters of Florida, the senator-elect would go dark. To escape all the demands on his time, he would take off for the other side of the world. When he got back, he'd try to follow the Hillary Clinton playbook, winning respect on both sides of the aisle by keeping his head down and his nose to the grindstone.
