He’s a 42-year-old freshman senator, but when asked by Jonathan Karl on “This Week” if he’s ready to be president, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida answered without hesitation.
“I do … but I think that’s true for multiple other people that would want to run … I mean, I’ll be 43 this month, but the other thing that perhaps people don’t realize, I’ve served now in public office for the better part of 14 years,” said Rubio. “Most importantly, I think a president has to have a clear vision of where the country needs to go and clear ideas about how to get it there and I think we’re very blessed in our party to have a number of people that fit that criteria.”
When asked if he was qualified to run, Rubio reiterated that the Republican Party has several qualified candidates.
“The question is what – who’s vision is the one that our party wants to follow?” he said.
Rubio – who spoke to Karl on Friday in New Hampshire – said that if he decides to seek the presidency, he would not simultaneously seek re-election as a senator for the Sunshine State.
“I believe that if you want to be president of the United States, you run for president,” he said. “You don’t run for president with some eject button in the cockpit that allows you to go on an exit ramp if it doesn’t work out.”

Hey, in a Rubio-Hillary showdown, I’ll take Rubio hands down.
Hillary is truly another Obama; Hillary’s political philosophies — from U.S. posture on foreign relations to socialized medicine — are so congruent to Obama that its not funny.
Voters will need to be cognizant of the Hillary-Obama parallel.
better then Rand Paul. I care about my life above all else.
