However, in the recent Florida debate, Newt Gingrich suggested he’d consider Rubio for a central, dignified role — more so than a cabinet spot.

It’s put Rubio back on the radar. What do you think? Would he really decline the spot if it were offered to him? Should he?

Rubio continues to keep a high profile. He appeared in the New York Times and just released this Weekly GOP Address Video on YouTube about the American Dream:

Across the country, some shoppers fired guns, others broke broke down doors while yet another crowd of shoppers had to be pepper sprayed to put a stop to the chaos.

The shoes are limited edition Nike Air Jordan sneakers that first came out in 1996.

Of course Michael Jordan doesn’t play anymore, but his sons Marcus Jordan and Jeffrey Jordan are playing basketball at UCF.

The black and white shoes are officially named “Air Jordan XI Retro Concords.”
