Rubio Ethics Charges: Where There’s Smoke…There’s No Fire

Dick Morris

• The phone lines around Romney Headquarters are buzzing with worried campaign operatives wondering if Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), the obvious front runner for vice president, should be dropped
• So I looked into them and called the reporter who’s been covering them. Here’s the story:
• He has been very close to two men who are in a lot of trouble, but there is no evidence that any of it has rubbed off on him.
• The other issues that surround Rubio are also nickel and dime stuff:
• It may be that these brush-fires lead the party honchos to run to the nearest boring white man [emphasis added, oh brother!!!]

Morris was doing pretty well up till the end.  Let's see.  You pick Rubio if you think he's the best choice to win.  That's the game.  Otherwise, you are playing their game, and they'll win.  But that last bit on race just about convinced me that we are already playing their game.  Either way you lose.  But if you have to win the bigger game, and Rubio is in the clear, you take Rubio if you want to win all the marbles.
