Human Events
by John Gizzi
When I first interviewed Marco Rubio on April 14, 2009, my initial question was the obvious one for this young, long-shot candidate:
Why wasn’t the Miami lawyer and former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives running for the U.S. House or a statewide office, instead of Florida’s open Senate seat? Why, especially when almost all polls showed popular Republican Gov. Charlie Crist handily winning the nomination and the general election in 2010?
“Because I want to be a senator, not those other offices you’re talking about,” Rubio shot back without hesitation. “The Senate is where a committed conservative can make a difference.”
