you'll look for marco rubio to do that. but i think they know they have to connect with voters more and specifically hispanic voters. i mean, not only is marco rubio a good spokesman, a rising star for the party but he also happens to be hispanic. and in the state of florida that is critically important if mitt romney is going to win this state. barack obama won 67% of the hispanic vote in the last election. if they get that same amount there's no way mitt romney can win florida. end of story. mitt romney has to do a better job at courting hispanic voters. >> schieffer: thanks. you'll both be back a little later in our broadcast. we'll be back in a minute with our panel of top republicans and then, as i say, john and norah will be back later with some other analysis. we'll see you in a minute. the 2012 c-class with over 2,000 refinements. it's amazing...inside and out. ♪ join mercedes-benz usa on facebook for the best summer sweepstakes. but proven technologiesa allow natural gas producers to supply affordable, cleaner ener

marco rubio would provide a lot of energy, as you will see tonight when he speaks. he is really gifted. the paul ryan, he's the one guy in washington that i think has a command of the issues, the big challenges that our country faces. and has had the courage to outline specific proposals to be with him. that is a big decision that mitt romney made. he didn't buy into every aspect of the so-called paul ryan plan. but by picking paul ryan company said that i want this election to be about transformational things. kudos to him for doing it. because i think it sets the stage for an interesting follow-up. neil: governor, you have also been a big believer of bringing republicans into the tent -- latinos in general -- has the party progress? hasn't said that we are kind of okay with the way things are? >> you look at the rising stars of the republican party. they happen to be disproportionately lucky. you have susana martinez, the most popular governor in the country. brian sandoval from his approval rating over 60%. marco rubio, ted cruz, the next senator from texas we ha

what happened to marco rubio? as soon as it was clear that mitt romney was going to get the presidential nomination, the whole beltway all but concluded that marco rubio was going to be mr. romney's vice presidential pick. now marco rubio isn't even on the short list? i mean, if they're trying to make an impact, i suppose it could be they're leaking short lists that don't include mr. rubio so as to fake everybody out that they're not going to fake him so there will be extra impact from the surprise of the fact they did pick him. i suppose that's possible, or maybe they're not really going to pick him. maybe mr. rubio does have a lot of personal financial issues that would put that much more of a spotlight on the fact that mitt romney will not release his tax returns. so that could be it. it could also be that when mr. rubio was being thought of as a vice presidential prospect, he kept saying things like this on tv. >> you're a strong supporter of mitt romney's. we heard the republican nominee speak just a short ti
