I'm curious what you all think about Rubio in 2012.  The article says "Will face liberal double standard: what's OK for Obama (e.g., inexperience) is somehow not OK for a conservative."  But it seems to me that by pushing him in 2012 we might be equally guilty of a conservative double standard: Obama was quite rightly attacked by conservatives for inexperience.  But what's not OK for Obama is OK for Rubio?  My perspective is that Rubio should serve out his term and consider a run in 2020, probably holding a high office (maybe VP) during the 2017-2021 term of whoever ends up beating Obama. Thoughts? --[[User:LanceS|LanceS]] 22:31, 3 November 2010 (EDT)

: Most conservatives criticized Obama for being too liberal.  I don't think Obama's inexperience was the major basis for criticism, but it will be when liberals criticize Rubio.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:47, 4 November 2010 (EDT)

::Obama was criticized, and rightly so, for ''absolutely no executive experience''.  He had experience as a legislator, but had never actually held a job that required executive experience, running a company and meeting a payroll.  Since that criticism was rejected by the Obama camp, one would think it would be off-limits for them to use it against Rubio.  But since liberals don't think logically, and only care about smearing their opponents, as Andy said.....of course they will use it!  --<big>[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]</big>_/Admin^{[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]} 01:08, 4 November 2010 (EDT)
