In response to "I think the folks within the GOP primary subset that you are thinking of dislike the stereotypical Latino in their brain, not Rubio." by ty97

If you're seeing that in Texas, I'm glad, but I am not seeing it here.

In fact, Rubio's SOTU failure seemed to make a lot of Tea Party nutjobs here giddy.

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

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
