I heard Rush mention this story briefly while at lunch and thought that I'd post it here. I hope Marco Rubio decides to run for President; we need fresh, fundamental thinkers like him or Chris Christie or Bobby Jindal or Scott Walker. I don't think the Republicans can run Huckabee, Gingrich, Romney, Barbour, Pawlenty, or Palin and expect to defeat The ONE next year.

{Sen. Marco Rubio} The Florida Republican pledged Monday that he would not vote for any more short-term spending bills...
"I commend the efforts of House and Senate Republican leaders to deal with this, but I did not come to the U.S. Senate to be part of some absurd political theatre. I will no longer support short-term budget plans,†Rubio wrote on the conservative blog Red State.
“While attempts at new spending reductions are commendable, we simply can no longer afford to nickel-and-dime our way out of the dangerous debt America has amassed.â€
...
Rubio, a tea-party hero, hit Democrats for their “unwillingness to engage†in efforts to address the debt, and he faulted President Barack Obama for his lack of leadership and being “absent from this debate.â€
“It is time our leaders in Washington wake up and realize that we are headed for a debt disaster,†Rubio said.
“With Congress set to begin another week-long recess next week, every senator and representative should feel ashamed if they have to go home again, look their constituents in the eye, and explain why nothing is being done about our debt crisis.â€

The Guliani, McCain, Romney, Gingrich fest needs to go elsewhere.
Christie/Paul
Christie/Jindal
Or any of these with Rubio would be good.
