    I remember watching a Jeb speech during W's presidency and thinking the same.

      How about the woman governor of New Mexico? Give her a couple of years and she might have some star power.

        Susanna Martinez. She gave a great speech at the convention. Rubio/Martinez would be a good ticket.

          Marco, the earth is like 2 billion years old. Just say that. This isn't a gotcha question. It's not a difficult question. Why in the hell can't these rising GOP stars deal with this crap? This is turning into a game for the media and frankly it's kind of fun to watch as I hope this crap finally either tanks the GOP or releases them from their servitude to the religious right.

          I'm afraid that Marco actually thinks the earth is 7,000 years old. Thank god I'm not a Republican.

And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                    Not just a Republican problem. While not the exact question this is close.

                        CNN is early to work trying to undermine Rubio's potential candidacy:

                          it's a Republican problem in that potential candidates have to pander to the 58% of Republicans that do. A democratic candidate will never be asked that question, and the democratic base wouldn't care what the answer is.

                            It's only here because of a media with a liberal bias trying to discount a guy and marginalize him because of his personal views on a subject that is completely irrelvant to leading the country and is, in fact, a view shared by many prior presidents including Democrats.

                            The media needs to F off.

                            What a stupid ass question to even ask.

                              Maybe Booker won't be a candidate in 2016:

                              It will be interesting to see if he challenges Christie if Christie runs again.

                                I would ask this question of those who think Rubio should know how old the earth is and to those who think you need to believe in divine creation.

                                What the hell do either of these things matter when it comes to running the country. Will the press and of course politicians ever focus on what is important?

                                Right now I have to root for a dem winning in 2016. With everyone except angry, rich white old people voting for Obama and the press backing him, only an economic collapse would get a republican elected.

                                I don't want that, although it would be kind of fun to do a "I told you so".
