NY Times: Rubio 'Great Right Hope'

 

Florida Sen.-elect Marco Rubio is being called an "action hero" for the  
right, appealing to tea party members, Hispanics and dissatisfied young  
Americans. According to The New York Times, Rubio is "young, dynamic, serious 
about policy, with  a biography ready-made for inspiration."

Rubio  defeated  Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and Democratic Rep. Kendrick 
Meek to win a U.S.  Senate seat last Tuesday. According to the Times, he's 
been labeled the “great  right hope” in conservative circles.

As a rising GOP star, there has been  talk of Rubio possibly running for 
president in the future. But he insists  that's not on his mind.

“It’s flattering and it’s fleeting,” he told the  Times at his election 
victory party. “Politics is full of one-hit wonders, of  people that stood in 
a room like this with a bunch of cameras, and no one hears  from them 
anymore.”
