In response to "He's Latino and the people who would have to vote for him in primaries really don't like people of different ethnicities. -- nm" by David

I think the folks within the GOP primary subset that you are thinking of dislike the stereotypical Latino in their brain, not Rubio.

I think many/most of them would be willing to vote for Rubio.

If you're seeing that in Texas, I'm glad, but I am not seeing it here. - David Feb 19, 10:51 18
- I can't speak to Texas (I have lived in the Illinois for four years), just a gut feel. - ty97 Feb 19, 10:55 4
  - Really? Are you in Chicago or somewhere else? I somehow missed that. -- nm - David Feb 19, 11:03 3
    - Yep, I moved to Chicago in summer 2009 -- nm - ty97 Feb 19, 11:13 1
      - You should watch Kim's brother's band sometime. - David Feb 19, 11:16
    - ty lives at Target, silly. - Spawn Feb 19, 11:04
- becuase he's seen as a cultural (or racial) outsider, or because he's seen as being too tied to the political establishment? - znufrii Feb 19, 10:55 11
  - He is popular where he is but the rest of the south isn't like Florida (or Texas). - David Feb 19, 11:06 5
    - I think Rubio would do well in Georgia - Strongbad Feb 19, 11:10 3
      - He might but it's the same situation I said of Romney. He'll have to get the nomination without carrying most of the south. - David Feb 19, 11:14 2
        
        Newt won GA. I don't remember the others. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 19, 11:15 1
        
        Mitt won NC, VA, AR, TX, FL, of which only VA and FL were competitive (Romney was already considered to be the likely nominee by the end of April) -- nm - znufrii Feb 19, 11:20
    - gotcha. -- nm - znufrii Feb 19, 11:08
  - He still is. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 19, 10:55 4
    - (darling may be a strong word, but he still supports a lot of the same issues of theirs) -- nm - Strongbad Feb 19, 10:56 3
      - but do *they* still support him? - znufrii Feb 19, 10:59 2
        
        (My opinion) - Strongbad Feb 19, 11:18 1
        
        thanks. -- nm - znufrii Feb 19, 11:26
