Coburn Hearts Rubio…
..the other GOP contenders, not so much: Tom Coburn On 2016: Cruz And Walker Not Ready For Primetime, America Won’t Elect Another Bush.
The piece has the candidate-by-candidate run-down.

Tom Coburn, outstanding holy roller, deficit scold, gun stroker, and AGW denier endorses Rubio. Goody.
@gVOR08: Take it for what you will.
Maybe … MAYBE … Coburn’s endorsement matters, perhaps with the base evangelical types, I don’t think so, those folks have nowhere else to go, but who knows?
I happen to think that Rubio will be on the ticket – either as the presidential or vice presidential nominee. Electorally, Florida matters, plus the GOP thinks that Rubio would get them more Hispanic voters.
@al-Ameda: I’d agree, except that I still expect Bush to get the nomination, and he doesn’t need Rubio.
Coburn, for all his faults, always got along well with Obama personally when the latter was a Senator. So I suspect the lack of respect given Obama by some candidates is grating on him.
