So Marco Rubio was just having a normal day. Tweeting to himself, explaining patently obvious pop culture references, being sort of adorable in a frustratingly dorky way argh I hate myself.
But WELL WELL WELL, WHAT HAVE WE HERE?
Sources Say Rubio Reconsidering Senate Race COULD IT BE??? IS OUR VALIANT HERO GIVING UP THE LONG-GOTTEN-UP RACE TO JUMP INTO THE WIDE OPEN ATTORNEY GENERAL RACE WHICH FRANKLY MAKES A WHOLE LOT MORE SENSE?
Well he's a hardcore Republican. What do you think he's gonna do?
And he got back to the important stuff. (Why didn't he tag the Tweet about buying Dew? How are the #tcot supposed to know his preferred brand of pop?)
And yet the rumors just won't abate. Take it away,
Swing State Project:
Rubio has issued a bunch of weird, jokey non-denials on Twitter. It would suck if he dropped out, but I wouldn't be surprised if he started bailin' like Palin. [...] Some more claims by various media outlets that Rubio is "denying" his interest in the AG spot, but the only thing his camp has said is that "Speaker Rubio is an active candidate for U.S. Senate" and "He is squarely focused on winning this campaign for Senate." Those are not denials.
And it's true, they aren't. So dammit, I've got to root for him to continue this quixotic quest. Otherwise, all those amazing photoshops we've made are going to waste. And we'll no longer get genius, possibly-not-on-purpose-but-maybe-not-accidentally homoerotic Tweets like this one.
