Rubio Stays Out of the Spotlight

Washington Post: “Ten days after Sen. Marco Rubio launched his campaign for president in April, his aides doused cold water on a poll showing him leading the Republican pack. When he won positive reviews in the first debate in August, he retreated to a quiet schedule of raising money and holding small-scale events. Now with one of his chief potential rivals out of the picture, he is again warning against hype.”

“What seems like a series of missed opportunities is actually the Florida Republican’s playbook: Avoid peaking early, stay on message, and keep out of the daily fray that has eaten other candidates alive.”
