Rubio team goes after Bush donorsBy Eli Stokols at Politico

"SNIP............
DENVERFor months, Republican donors viewed Marco Rubio as a growth stock. After his bull run in Wednesdays debate, investors are buying.
It started even before the debate in Boulder ended. Donors who had been getting calls from Rubios Colorado campaign chairman for two months were suddenly emailing him. Seven donors hed been working couldnt convey their messages fast enough: Im in.
The movement in donors and activists is significant and palpable, said Josh Penry. People saw Marco last night and they saw a conservative and they saw a winner. The people who always liked him but doubted his polish now see a guy on stage they can see next to Hillary Clinton.
What Penry felt in Colorado was happening nationwide. In the hours after the debate, Rubios campaign saw its online fundraising numbers skyrocket.

but his positions on immigration will backfire.
Hillary needs 80% of minority vote so they'll try to pick off a few percent more with Rubio I guess.

themselves in the 100 million they have already given Bush.
