"Hmm, he's younger and better looking, but the other guy looks nicer, and would probably appreciate me more..."
"Lindsay Graham or generic Republican? Come come now, Lindsay knows his way around a man."

Ex-senator Norm Coleman is on CNN boostering for Rubio saying "It's not about winning tonight"

His campaign is bragging to the NY Tines (and donors and allies in a phone call) that tonight doesn't matter because they are set to fight on to the convention

The fight tonight is probably going to be a fight for 2nd place. Trump will place first, and whomever places 2nd gets the party's full backing and resources while they try desperately to keep Trump from getting the nod. 3rd place is forced to suspend their campaign and fucks off to whine about it on cable TV.

Edit: Norm Coleman is an opportunistic slimebag, but even democrats concede that he did a Great Good Thing by bringing NHL hockey back to Minnesota.

There's a very good chance he won't take a single state tonight, and I think the muttering about :fork: ness will start to intensify dramatically after then.

But actually ending? Rubio has a decent chance at Florida and Arizona, and he'll try to keep the Marcomentum rolling after that. FC is right that they'll almost certainly just keep pushing all the way to the end, given that Rubio will want to stay in contention for the possibility of getting chosen at a brokered convention.
