Rubio Positioning Himself for Veep

“For a guy who keeps insisting he has no interest in being vice president, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio appears to be feverishly positioning himself for the job,” the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He’s asked the Florida Ethics Commission to “close out a complaint” that he misused campaign money, his PAC spent more than $40,000 for investigators to research for negative attacks that could surface against him, and he announced he is rushing publication of his memoir to this summer which “will help him frame his story before a presumably less-flattering unauthorized biography is released in July and will ensure him waves of publicity before the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August.”
