On the ticket. would that make the president look like a leader or a refugee? and that's a tough one for what it says about the president. but we'll get to that and everybody, by the way, i know has an attitude about that one. david, i think marco rubio was on this program a week ago and struck me as a young guy who's bright, positive, and despite about the questions of when his family came from cuba, i'm impressed by his character. >> you know what's good about him? he hasn't been in the senate too long. he doesn't talk about a senator, talks like a real person who is thoughtful. and he's try...

races. next, president obama's chances of beating the nominee. where does he stand in the crucial battleground states? historically, how have other presidents done with approval ratings in the mid-40s one year out? and that's where he is. could marco rubio seal florida for romney? could we see a gingrich/cain ticket? and would president obama consider dumping joe biden for hillary clinton if things looked really bad. what about a third-party run? it would throw the election to one side or the other, but which one? this is no fantasy, we'll be joined by somebody who is making sure tha...
