1.) Move over Marco — Republican Senate phenom Marco Rubio has barely had the time to prove himself worthy of the hype, but the Washington establishment (whatever that is) may be already moving on to the next best (Hispanic) thing.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates stressed that America had successfully avoided a shooting war with Russia during the Cold War and he saw “no reason to change that approach today.” (more)
