== Senate endorsement ==
The ''Miami Herald'' wholeheartedly endorsed Rubio during the 2010 Senate race:
<blockquote>
"At this critical juncture in the nation’s economy, Mr. Rubio offers a welcome dose of fiscal restraint. He has exhibited common sense on Social Security, where he proposes raising the retirement age as a way of keeping the program solvent. Neither Mr. Crist nor Mr. Meek has dared to make take such a clear stand. ''Mr. Rubio has the potential to be the kind of statesman Floridians can be proud to call a native son -- much like another [[conservative]], former Senator Connie Mack."'' <ref>[http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/10/24/1887397/for-us-senate-the-miami-herald.html#ixzz13GnxeIES For U.S. Senate, The Miami Herald recommends Marco Rubio.]</ref>
