I'm telling you: it's Rubio. The GOP has such a terrible record with Hispanics that party leaders will forgo their usual habit of anointing an old, tired worthy and go for someone as pretty and eloquent as Obama.

^^^ this is what I've been telling people, too. GOP wanted to do this with Jindal, but now they think Rubio is their anti-Obama.

that would be a pretty meteoric rise for Rubio, but it would make sense that the GOP's braindead calculus would result in them assuming their best chances against Obama are with a young, ethnic, glamorous guy of their own

problem with Jindal is that he's sub-mental
GOP sees Obama's presidency as meteoric, too, and they want in on something similar.

Would a right-wing Cuban-American have traction with other Hispanic-American subsets (many of whom skew left) or is that an assumption hastily made by LOLstupidanglos?

Rubio is as much a cipher as Obama was in 2007. He says all the "right" things, but I know his type SO well.

One of my best friends covered the Florida legislature for a local paper from 2004 to 2007, during Rubio's tenure as speaker. Even then he was telling me the guy is intelligent and shrewd. You must remember this about Cubans: despite their purported right wing tendencies, most of them are (a) old (b) depend on Social Security (c) are fairly moderate on "social" issues (my parents are Hannity-loving righties for whom the right to an abortion is sacrosanct).

I.e. I think the GOP will have a hard time getting Mexican-Americans to vote for Rubio just because he's Cuban. If he's the GOPs guy in 2012, it's for his political skills, not for his ethnicity.

yeah there's no significant cuban population in any other state afaik outside of maybe Jersey and NY...? the equivalent would be the GOP elevating some Filipino-American rep from California to run for President under the assumption that that'll guarantee the "Asian" vote
GOP's always been amazingly tin-eared about race stuff.

At any rate, Rubio will not be in the Senate very long -- one of the reasons I didn't worry about our Senate race. Bill Nelson, our other senator, is very much in the pre-1964 Dem tradition at which we excel (e.g. Bob Graham, Lawton Chiles).

To me, it'll be enough that Palin runs. I don't think she can win, other people say she can, whatever--the only thing that's guaranteed is that if she runs, it'll be a spectacle-and-a-half. If she were up against Rubio, I assume there would be ample pushback against her from within her own party. She doesn't respond well to that, and that's when the fun would begin.

Page 5: Here I learn something I didn't know and, if I were Sarah Palin, something I wouldn't want anyone to know. But Sarah hustles this fact to the front of the book because she sure as hell wants us to know it: Sarah surprised Todd with a "nice, needed, powerful gun" for Christmas in 2012. It was a "small act of civil disobedience," Palin writes, prompted by "the anti-gun chatter coming from Washington."What was inspiring that anti-gun chatter in Washington in December of 2012? Oh, right: Twenty children and six teachers were shot dead in their classrooms by a deranged asshole with a "powerful gun." And before the grieving mothers and fathers of Newtown, Connecticut, could put their dead children in the ground, Sarah Palin ran out gun shopping. Buying Todd a gun in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary was "fun," Palin writes—and, again, an act of "civil disobedience." Because gun nuts are a persecuted minority.This paragraph about gun shopping in December of 2012—one first grader at Sandy Hook was shot 11 times—ends with Palin bragging about her tits. I'm not kidding.

Palin's moment has passed. She's got her coterie of ardent fans, but it isn't quite big enough for her antics to register on national politics any more - in spite of her continuing to register on the national media, due to her entertainment value and a certain nostalgia for her heyday on the part of the press.

Todd Palin appears to have filed for divorce from former Alaska governor and one-time vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, his wife of 31 years.In a document filed Friday in Anchorage Superior Court, Todd Palin, 55, asked to dissolve the marriage, citing an “incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife.”The divorce filing uses initials rather than full names, but identifies the couple’s marriage date and the birth date of their only child who is a minor, Trig Palin. The filing asks for joint legal custody of the child.Anchorage attorney Kimberlee Colbo is representing Todd Palin in the divorce. In a filing, Colbo said she would ask the court to designate the divorce confidential as it moves forward.
