At a recent Young Republican event in Jacksonville a lady told me in the 53 years of her life she has never written a check to a candidate, and though she always goes to the polls on election day, she had never felt compelled to get involved until now. She said she didn’t remember where she first heard Marco speak, but she knew he was the “real deal.” Her family could not believe she had ventured downtown by herself that night to hear a candidate speak or that she tells everyone she meets about Marco Rubio.
I realize that 53 may be young in Florida, but I think it's a stretch to call this tea-bagger a Young Republican. Of course, in the new, pure conservative, evangelical, old, white, southern GOP, may 53 is the new 23?
