This is quite interesting out of all the non-stop hype and the GOP supporters basically on their knees begging Christie and Rubio to run, both bow out. Also why have none of the GOP "heavy hitters" like Christie, Rubio, Jeb Bush, Boehner,etc,.. jumped into the race if they are so convinced they could beat Obama?

So they actually want to do the job the people elected them to do as opposed to quitting like another much hyped non-GOP candidate.
Assuming Obama wins reelection, a big assumption at this point, both men will be well positioned for a 2016 run.
Rubio is probably waiting for the perfect presidential candidate to pair with. From what I heard most Republicans are not happy with their choices of presidential candidates this time around. Rubio is quite popular, and he probably wants to pair up with a candidate that is also very popular.
Rubio wouldn't get my vote, but those are just my thoughts.
Because they know that the Great Recession will last at least another five years, and at this point there is very little the government can do about it. The government will also have to make some painful choices on spending and taxes; why be the guy on the spot? Better to let the economy sort itself out through the next election, then if things improve make a run.
With Rubio out, I could see it going to Rep. Allen West of Florida. Perry, Cain, Romney are all weakest on foreign policy, which would make West a good pick. Plus West is the bulldog type, and has great speaking skills.
And if Cain were to get the nod, Cain-West would be the first all-black ticket ever, running not as Democrats but as Republicans.
