And then there's this.

Little to no "there there" but it's a sign that people are frantically digging for a Rubio scandal. If there is anything to it. expect the Kochs and the other big bux guys to learn about it first.
That's one reason that I'm less freaked out by Citizens United than some others here. For the most part, it just gives rich eccentrics (e.g., Kochs, Edelson) a place to ineffectively spend their money on candidates like Gingrich and Walker.

As for Rubio, he's simply too wet behind the ears to be taken seriously. He may, however, end up being a VP choice.
