TIME's REPUBLICAN SAVIOR MARCO RUBIO LIKELY TO BE CHALLENGED BY A DOZEN OR MORE OTHER GOP SEEKERS.............

On Thursday Time Magazine unveiled its latest cover as Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, with the title : "The Republican Savior"; indicating the young, charismatic, Cuban American, Tea Party, Republican freshman, may well be the GOP's answer to winning back the White House in 2016.  Senator Rubio disclaimed the designation, "The Republican Savior" tweeting, "There is only one savior and it is not me. #Jesus".  Time's indication that Rubio may be the person to lead the Republicans out of the presidential electoral wilderness with Hispanic / Latino voters in the next quest for the White House - however, he will not go unchallenged either for the 2016 Republican nomination to win the Presidency.  Senator Rubio is one of a prospective potential field of a bakers dozen of seekers for the nomination including former running mate standardbearers, previous candidates, current Senators, and Governors.  Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin; Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee; Wisconsin U.S. Representative Paul Ryan; former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum; South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham; Kentucky Senator Rand Paul; New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte; Texas Senator Ted Cruz; New Jersey Governor Chris Christie; Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker; South Carolina Governor Nikku Haley; and New Mexico Governor Susanna Martinez; are among likely candidates who have an interest in running and may well seek to win the Republican Nomination for the White House.  Whether Rubio's leadership role in attempting to bring about Immigration Reform and his Republican Response to President Obama's State of the Union Address this Tuesday night, can vault and keep him ahead of a crowded field for the next three years only the turns of politics, governance, and vorer preference will determine.  For now, he's being presented a huge leg up in the line-up of GOP prospects for the future.............Fr.  Troy
