Sherry and I first heard Marco Rubio in a Club for Growth conference call on December 15th, and were completely wowed. He is running against Charlie Crist for in the Florida Republican Senatorial primary. When that call occurred, he was trailing Crist in the polls, but the Club's president Chris Chocola said, "Among people who know who he is, he leads." Today, just over two months later, most people in Florida know who Marco Rubio is, and he leads Crist in the RCP average by 9 points*.
Here is the text of his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington this Thursday. He a young man, who speaks quickly without raising his voice. If you are so inclined, you can find video from his speech online.
We may have our Reagan.
