Rubio Taking a Wait-and-See Attitude on Karl Rove's Conservative Victory Project

Eh, you know what I think. I've said it enough. Sure, I want the heat and fire of the Tea Party, but I'd also like that tempered by some cold numbers-based decisionmaking.

I don't trust The Establishment to actually do anything, but I'm losing confidence in the Tea Party's ability to distinguish Protest Candidates from Candidates who Can Actually be Put Into Position to Make Change.

I think the dynamic -- and the pushback from either side -- is necessary. I don't want to see either side "win" in this.

I don't think you should be looking to "win" interparty disputes fully. If you completely win, you've won the right to have the losing party abandon you.

Anyway, Rubio doesn't say all that, but he's keeping an open mind.

Oh: Chris Matthews, who can hear a dog whistle beyond the capability of dogs' hearing abilities, called Rubio primitive.

And did you hear? Rubio drinks water. Holy mackerel, there's your headline.
