Rubio, a tea party favorite, may not join its Senate caucus | McClatchy
Classic bait and switch, can you say hoodwinked?
Rubio is an establishment Republican. Keep in mind, the Tea Partiers tried to claim Scott Brown, and Scott Brown's win, as their own.
Yeah, I thought of that similarity as well. Who really wants to be associated with an extreme group like the teaparty once you're in your seat? The teaparty was a "useful tool".
