He is half Mexican

I have a feeling the top candidates will end up being Jeb Bush and Rand Paul in the 2016 primaries. Marco Rubio will poll high as the GOP electorate get a taste of the different candidates in the beginning but he'll be out campaigned and it'll be Jeb Bush that takes the spot against the liberty movement.
The old guard, true conservatives and freedom loving Constitutionalists will want Rand Paul and those that still subscribe to the neocon agenda of expanding military imperialism will indeed Jeb Bush. In the year 2016, the GOP will look a lot different and Rand Paul will win the nomination.
I already heard confirmation that Rand Paul will run.
The great thing about it all is that we can use 08 and 12 as massive failures of the GOP establishment force feeding status quo candidates that fail to differentiate themselves from the opposing party.

Crap... My theories were right. Women do find the guy sexy...
There is a possibility that he's being groomed for low office currently. But I don't discount the idea of the RNC feeding him to the American people as an out of the blue darkhorse.
That approach just got the Dems a two term POTUS.

Don't underestimate this fact - it got Clinton and Obama both over the hump.
George III is, IMO, one good national speech away from being a viable potential candidate. If he's well spoken and charismatic? Who knows.
My gut is usually good about these things.

I think Rubio will win and give a good strong race actually.
Rand will be chasing after fools gold like his dad.
The republicans aren't entirely dumb, they know that by running Rubio, they will even out a lot of latino and youth voters and may in fact win no matter who runs from the left (there are no big stars in the wings of the dem..Obama was a dem star since 04).
I don't want to call things out 4 years away, but I see 2016 very favorable for the republicans...IF..they run Rubio.

Rand Paul will have the tea party, half the 'pundits', the Ron Paul grassroots network, and support from some of those that crossed over from other parties to support Ron Paul.

The big money establishment has no interest in letting the libertarians win. Hense why they destroyed the original tea party into some sarah palin neoconservative culture warrior crap and lost the original message and intent.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

I'm really hoping that Republicans aren't dumb enough to elect another Bush into office. Might as well have royalty if we continue to elect people depending on what family they came from. Isn't it time we elect someone who is qualified and smart enough to get this country going? Why do we keep electing lawyers??? Don't you people know lawyers will be the end of us all? Do any of you think that this bureaucratic and economic cluster@#$% would exist without them? They have their place in society, but in running our country? I think not.

No hating! Just a sinking feeling... Like the one John Conner might have felt when he opened the door and saw the T-800 standing there. Only this is like the R-1000... A sexy Bushbot sent back in time to get the RNC back in power.... Curses Skynet... you win.
