Marco Rubio is a political insider who's whole life has been politics. He has the look and feel of a manager trainee who's not really ready for the GM's job.
Traditionally, guys like Rubio work their way up. Maybe a Senate leadership position, maybe a Cabinet appointment, maybe even VP. But the top job? Why Marco Rubio; what has he done, really, that's all that special?
It hurts Rubio that he's Hispanic because his youth and lack of experience at the higher levels of politics make it seem as if he's being boosted beyond where he's really at. If he weren't Hispanic, he wouldn't be in the position he's in, and even he knows this. At a certain point, the "Affirmative Action" aspect of those boosting him is going to hurt him. I will say, however, that this may not kick in until AFTER he's the GOP nominee. He's the most likely "establishment" candidate to grab that brass ring.
