Personally, while I like the charismatic young Senator, I think that Paul Ryan or Rand Paul would be solid “BOLD” choices that would electrify the GOP Ticket, but:
First it was Jeb Bush who suggested that Mitt Romney should pick Marco Rubio to be his VP, and now we have former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani giving Rubio a full-throated endorsement for the VP position. Giuliani was one of the first to endorse Rubio during his 2010 Senate race, and he believes that Rubio is the right choice who will bring “excitement to the race.”
Floridians feel the same way. In a completely unscientific poll conducted here on the Shark Tank, Rubio was the hands down favorite for VP with 306 votes of the 604 cast- that’s 50.66%!(POLL)
He’s right at the top of my list. He would be an excellent choice-he would bring a level of excitement to the race that it could use. – Mayor Rudy Giuliani

Rubio is NOT a Natural Born citizen.
BOTH of his parents were Cuban citizens when he was born.
To be Vice President, you MUST be a Natural Born Citizen, being 1st in line for the Presidency if something happens to him/her.
To be a Natural Born citizen you MUST be born on US soil to US citizen parentS.
Rubio is a NATIVE US citizen, but he is NOT Natural Born.
Look at Minor V Happersett.
If you want to cite Ark, please note that it states that Native Born citizens have the same RIGHTS as Natrual Born citizens. Running for President or Vice President is NOT a right, it is a PRIVLIDGE that has REQUIREMENTS.
JAMES,
I hope by posting this thread, you are not endorsing Rubio.
Where’s HistorianDude when you need him?

I like Rubio, but he IS NOT the candidate I believe that should be on the ticket. And I believe that if Rubio or Jindal were chosen, there would be a can of worms opened over the “Natural Born” citizen, but ONLY when the election is over, and the Left then wants to use the same arguments that have been used about Obama’s status.
No, I am not supporting a Rubio candidacy. As my post about the Marriage Equality plank in the DNC platform indicates, I don’t like blatant political pandering, and Rubio would be just that.
Personally, I don’t want a middle of the road, plain vanilla “boring wwhite guy” (to quote NBC’s arrogant Brian Williams) as the Veep choice. I would like to see Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, or Bob McDonnell. Allen West would be PERFECT but, boy, it would worse than what was done to Sarah Palin!!
