Rubio Declines McConnell's Request to Run NRSC

[LarryN]

I think he sees the writing on the wall and wants to keep his reputation unsullied.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has been courted by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to take over the National Republican Senatorial Committee for the 2014 midterm season, but the freshman lawmaker declined the entreaty, sources told RCP.

It might seem early to think about the next campaign cycle, but Senate leadership elections will take place in short order. And given the GOP’s losses in Senate races Tuesday night, the party is looking to make some changes.

The sources, who are familiar with Rubio’s decision, said the junior senator had mulled the leadership role for some time. As he often points out, however, being the father of four young children sometimes keeps him away from the campaign trail.

Do you realize we haven't had a GOP POTUS not named Bush since 1/19/88??

Actually, it was noon on 1/20/1989.

Yeah that's what I meant.

I know.

Anyway, what does that have to do with the subject of the thread?

Cause.. Fl. Sen.. Rubi... hispanics...i thought about.. (ex) Fl. gov.. Jeb.. how he's married to a Mexican woman and how much better off the GOP might be right now if he'd been (s)elected POTUS instead of his dimwitted brother...

I know.. my thoughts are alll over the place...
