Newt has 60% unfavorables nation wide. Yea, that will win the WH. How in the heck did David Duke get in there?

People are crazy.

TPTB obviously do not care about that. If they want him, they shall have him.Get ready to hear that "you are a racist for wanting to see his papers"

Incorrect. That is for the Presidency, not the VP.

At least according to Wikipedia, Rubio was born in Miami. His parents were not natural born citizens, but he is.

He's also the poster child for "tea-o-con"...

Yes, but the 12th amendment clarified: "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

His parents were not US citizens period, at the time of his birth, thus putting into doubt his "natural born citizen" status.

Absolutely. He jumped in front of that parade as fast as anyone. His record says otherwise.
