As it became clear that Senator Rubio was likely to run for president, I received encouragement to consider running for the Senate.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am considering running for Senate, as well as other opportunities.
I support Marco Rubio.
My motivation for running for Senate was not for the stature of being a senator, but because I wanted to make a difference on issues I feel passionate about.
I think Senator Marco Rubio was a very good speaker of the House, has been a very good senator.
I think I can speak for every Senator, saying that he or she ran for the Senate because we want to help make this a better place; that is, we want to help our States and help America.
I must say I am not pleased to have to arrange the Senate schedule around the availability of Senators who are running for President.
Let me tell you this: if Marco Rubio - even though he's only been in the Senate for a very short period of time, that man has a huge, huge opportunity in this country, and I think he could be the president.
I was considering running for political office.
I'm running for senator because it's time for a change.
I've long thought that Marco Rubio would make a strong G.O.P. candidate for president. While he was brought into office by surfing on the Tea Party wave, he has proven himself not to be wedded to the frequent lunacy of those folks.
