Politicians will spend millions in consultant fees divining the curiously diverging fates of senators Rand Paul and Marco Rubio. The Floridian Rubio thought to kick off a once-promising presidential run by angling toward the middle (and the GOP’s 2016 “it” constituency, Latinos), offering ideas on immigration reform. The only votes that Rubio’s moderate moves got him in our survey were for biggest disappointment. Meanwhile, Kentucky’s Rand Paul, who was voted rising star, has appeared before traditionally Democratic sectors—the nose-ring digital natives at Berkeley and African-Americans—without tarnishing his sterling Tea Party chops.

This is not really helpful for Rand. This is a beltway bimbo insider poll. They put Rubio, Jeff Flake and Heitkamp as great Senators in some categories. Whoever makes it easier for them to ignore their constituents and get invited to cocktail parties.
Those quotes are actually the author putting his spin on it.
Jeff Flake voted for amnesty like he has always supported so he is a standout? Flake and McCain have low approval back home.
BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky – Washington liberals are trying to push through the so-called DREAM Act, which creates an official path to Democrat voter registration for 2 million college-age illegal immigrants.

fidelity and love you have tested in days when to have proved treacherous meant the ruin of your firesides.

What's their definition of wisdom? 2 guys who've helped vote us into a trillion dollar debt might be excluded from any discussion on the wise.
