Marco Rubio, a tea party favorite and a first-term US senator from Florida, seems to have everything going for him when it comes to what Mr. Romney might want in his running mate.
He鈥檚 a Hispanic senator from a key swing state who is popular with many of the more conservative Republicans who question Romney鈥檚 credentials. He potentially helps Romney with Latinos (a group with whom Romney struggles), Southern voters, Florida voters, and tea party voters.
True, he鈥檚 relatively inexperienced, and he鈥檚 insisted he doesn鈥檛 want to be VP 鈥� but he鈥檚 that seem to be positioning him for that role.
Yes, it鈥檚 early in the game, but Senator Rubio is the clear favorite so far.
