Amid The Ridicule

++Nate Silver and Josh Marshall think that we are in the fog of war and maybe Rubio's debate debacle won't hurt him. Josh says that this morning Marco did a Clinton by turning his repetition of his talking points into a strength. "This is what I passionately believe in". The "this" is that President Obama knows exactly what he is doing--weakening America.  

++Nate Silver said that the Google monitoring the election showed intense focus on Rubio and especially his answer on abortion. He doesn't know whether it will hurt him.

++Josh Marshall says that yes, Obama didn't have the experience but the 2008 campaign was different--Obama got Iraq right, while Rubio got his primary issue--immigration wrong.

++Ring of Fire radio may another point. Rubio would not be in the race now if it weren't for his billionaire friends--The Vulture and Adelson. Third in Iowa without billionaire funding would be nothing.

++Another false analogy is to Obama's debate with Romney. As I pointed out at the time,Obama's flop only cost him 1% in the polls, when he had a structural lead as Sam Wang pointed out at the time.
