I tend to be a bit jaded on the likelihood that newspaper endorsements really matter in this nationalized media environment.

Still,

Republicans have the opportunity to define their party’s future in this election. They could choose anger, pessimism and fear. Or they could take a different path.

The party could channel that frustration and pursue true reform. It could renounce its fealty to the economic elite and its fixation with tax cuts for the wealthy.


It could instead emphasize the interests of the middle class and promote policies, not just rhetoric, that champion workers, families and small businesses. It could be the party of opportunity and optimism.


It could be the party in which the son of an immigrant bartender and maid could become president.


Sen. Marco Rubio has the potential to chart a new direction for the party, and perhaps the nation, with his message of restoring the American dream. We endorse him because he represents his party’s best hope.

It's a failing newspaper this will likely be its end.
 
Democrats are scared to death that Rubio will win the Republican nomination.

Well, I'm slowly adding names to the list of gals I'd like to have a couple of drinks with one day - so far I've put Meghan Kelly and Ann Selzer on my list! I'm considering Martha Maccallum, too! What fun that would be! :thumbs:

Your list is much like my list.:mrgreen:

No, we are too busy being scared to death that Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Ben Carson or Carly Fiorina will win it....
