    It's time for a Marco Rubio thread?

    So, with his strong showing in Iowa I think we should start discussing the Man in the Boots. I dismissed him early on as not confident enough, but it seems that he is getting there. Of the GOP he seems the most rational, but I'm sure I'm missing something. Why is Rubio awesome? Why is Rubio...

Those whole thing seemed very...
