Meet Marco Rubio, a rising star in the Republican party. He's young, he's Conservative, he's connected to the tea party, he just became Senator-elect in Florida and most importanly.....Hispanic. That last one should worry any Democrat or supporter of the President the most and here's why.
The GOP know they can't roll out someone like Haley Barber, Governor from Mississippi or Sarah Palin to run against Barack Obama in 2012. They know they would lose in a landslide. But what if they could find someone who is young, energetic and can bring a voting bloc that would rival the black voting bloc of the President? What if that person can guarantee them a major state like Florida? If they can do that, then it's closed curtains for President Obama.
Marco Rubio fits that mold perfectly and unlike the President, Rubio wouldn't have to beg and plead for Hispanics to go out and vote. They would line up at 4 in the morning, in the rain to cast their vote. Unlike us who would sit out an election because we don't want to mess up our hair or stand in line too long.
(But we would stand in line in a thunderstorm to see Nene from RHOA. We won't tune in to watch a debate but we would DVR the BET Hip Hop Awards.)

Nominating Marco Rubio would pose a threat because this past mid-term election showed how much ground the Democrats have lost. Democrats lost states like Florida, Ohio, Indiana and even lost Illinois. That's right the Senate seat once held by the President is now occupied by a Republican. So all that leaves Democrats in 2012 are the states on the West coast which has a huge Latino bloc. And that's where the chess match begins. Nominating Marco Rubio not only keeps the states above but it locks up the West coast . The reason why, Latinos vote and Blacks don't!
When this happens, remember you heard it in The Board Room FIRST!
