Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign previewed a 30-minute TV ad Saturday that his campaign plans to air in Iowa this weekend in the final hours before Monday’s all-important caucuses. The Florida Republican senator’s campaign is billing the spot as a television special that will include footage from a recent town hall. It reflects his advisers’ belief that their best asset is their candidate and the most effective way to communicate is to expose his pitch to many voters as possible.

Undecided people are likely to do it.
While townhalls are Rubio's specialty (people really love him when he does that so that's smart) 30 minutes is way too much.

Marco Rubio's Iowa mojo

The Florida senator is all confidence and smiles as caucus day nears.


MUSCATINE, Iowa — Marco Rubio's got his swagger back.
With just 72 hours before the first votes are cast in the Iowa caucuses, the Florida Republican was exuding confidence on the campaign trail — cracking impromptu jokes, pointedly criticizing his main competitor Sen. Ted Cruz and spending more time taking questions from the press and donors.


His campaign has gotten in on the action, too, blasting emails and tweets with the hashtag “Marcomentum” and photos of packed rallies.

Go Marco!

It's so nice to have a young, energetic candidate instead of the usual 70 or 80 year old fossils the GOP offers up year after year, with Trump being the latest incarnation.

Exactly, politicians are too old most of the time, Trump included. Marco can bring the GOP to a rebirth, to a new era, like Reagan did.

Not fighting for third, he'll get that easily, now the question is : Can he beat Cruz for the second place? Cruz tumbled since the last debate but we didn't get polls post-debate to know exactly how hard he fell..

By your criteria, Reagan would be too old.


I think Rubio is more akin to Obama; he's a Republican Obama, young, fresh, and woefully inexperienced.

Well, true, Reagan was old.

As for being inexperienced he's at the same level than Cruz, even slightly more, and of course far more experienced than Trump.
