expectations were. -- let's do get to marco rubio and john kasich next and then we'll go over to the other side of the party. with marco rubio, to me, you're looking at the best raw talent. if we were talking about sports, you would say that marco rubio is the best all-round athlete in this race, that he's got a very, very, very good skill set and that when he announced -- you know, if you look at his announcement speech -- not in terms of skills but also in terms of reach, if you look at his announcement speech, it was about hope, opportunity, the american dream. it was the sweeping inspirational, aspirational speech that was not unlike obama, i might add, but the thing about it is the incomes night i had dinner with a democratic strategist who said was like, you know, a democrat could have given 80% of rubio's speech. because it wasn't ideological, it wasn't partisan. it was a message that could resonate across a lot of lines and particularly to independent and moderate voters. now, that's really good. the fact is the clinton folks have been terrified from marco rubio from the very begin
