Kind of an interesting piece. It's obvious that Rubio was VERY uncomfortable with the exchange on same-sex marriage. To be honest, this issue puts GOP candidates on the spot (I mean, what are they supposed to say? At least Rubio didn't say something dumb like hate the sin, love the sinner.) But maybe being put on the spot isn't a bad thing. Mindlessly reciting a position paper -- which Rubio was ripped for doing in Saturday's debate -- won't cut it, and it would be good if they actually had to *think* about an answer on the issue of gay rights. The Republican position on gay issues isn't going to be changing anytime soon, but the more people have to think about the issue, and why they are opposed to gay marriage and nondiscrimination laws, the better. Maybe eventually logic will prevail and some will start to see just how out of touch opposition to equality is.

BTW, Hillary has to still be considered the favorite of the Dems, until Bernie proves that he can capture minority and blue collar votes in large enough number to win. I doubt that he can do that, but we will find out for sure on March 1, which is Super Tuesday and includes a bunch of states with heavy minority populations, including Texas. Money shouldn't be a huge problem for him, as liberals donate heavily, but it is also still unknown if he will have the type of campaign operation set up to compete outside Iowa and New Hampshire. I'm not ruling him out as the nominee -- lord knows, Hillary is not well liked by a goodly chunk of the population, including Democrats -- but he still has much to prove, despite Tuesday's big win.
Rubio actually scares me more than most of the GOP Clown Car. He's young, good looking (to some) and with lifts is taller than Hillary. The tallest person usually wins. He spouts the same crap as Cruz and Trump but it doesn't sound as bad.
