Rubio Veers From Tea Party?s Script

[F]acing intense competition for the moderate Republicans and independents who could be the keys to victory in one of the nation?s most closely divided states, Mr. Rubio is seeking to show that he is more than just an insurgent protest candidate ? and is breaking with some Tea Party orthodoxy in the process.

Mr. Rubio spends less and less time tying to tap into the discontent that has been at the forefront of the midterm elections. A wiser course for Republicans, he said, is offering an alternative, not simply being the angry opposition.

Good article. The more I read about him, the more I like. I especially like his stance on immigration and the 14th. Good moderate positions on hot button issues. Fiscal conservative, great background, smart, young and energetic, and you just get the feeling he's committed to his principals. I really hope he wins.
