Marco Rubio Tries to Bounce Back

Wall Street Journal: “The rebuilding effort will start Wednesday when Mr. Rubio heads to South Carolina for a series of campaign stops in the next state on the nominating calendar. He will get a chance to rehabilitate his image at a weekend debate, and he can expect many of the same attacks as those leveled by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in New Hampshire, who pointedly charged that he is overly reliant on talking points and hasn’t accomplished anything meaningful in his five years in the Senate.”

“Money will be a major concern. Like many of his rivals, Mr. Rubio’s campaign was relying on a strong finish in New Hampshire to juice his fundraising. Some of his top donors expected well-heeled supporters of many of his closest rivals, including Mr. Christie and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, to jump ship and support the senator. But those hopes were dashed by Tuesday’s results.”

Nate Silver notes Rubio’s slide in the betting markets halted since last night “maybe based on people realizing other ‘establishment’ candidates are even worse?”
