Rubio is overrated. 

Didn't he smoke a bunch of marijuana before his SOTU response speech?  That doesn't speak to him having the judgment necessary to be President.

I still think Rubio's over-rated as f**k. Jeb/Walker is the clear top two at this stage, yeah.

Rubio is definitely overrated by the pundits, but at the same time, is there really any other candidate who could beat him out for #3? Maybe Rand?

Too much love for the Hispanics.

Rubio should probably be down to 6 and Cruz needs to flip with Huckabee. I don't buy the Cruz stuff they are pumping up. The South is not really desperately searching for some fiscal conservative budget hawk. Huck is a better fit as is Jindal if he can pull it together. Plus Huck as the history of winning Iowa and performing strongly in SC. I'd have Perry over Pence for 10, but that's meaningless.

Poor Santorum, not even close to the top 10.

Rand, Huckabee, Cruz. Probably less likely to win than Rubio I guess, but he doesn't have a great shot either and they'll have a better shot of winning primaries/caucuses.

John Kasich is the best choice, in my view. Governor of a swing state, successful record, appeals to both the tea party and the establishment, an attractive candidate for a moderate, and has that folksy crap nailed down.

He is 300 times the candidate Rubio is.

I'd rate Huck in fifth place, due to name recognition and a favorable primary schedule.

Rubio makes sense in third place, but he may be less likely to run than many of the others. He's one of the best campaigners, a top choice for foreign policy hawks, and has significant demographic appeal.

One of these three will be the nominee, my money is on walker or rubio.

I could def see a Walker/Rubio 2016 ticket for sure.

Always a good sign when all the Dems come out min full force against a candidate, might mean they fear Mr. Rubio just a bit, just saying Wink
