Marco Rubio is running to be the football candidate, apparently. "This morning, the Marco Rubio for President campaign released a new television ad that will begin airing this weekend during the NFL Playoffs in select early state markets. In the new ad, Marco catches footballs and fields questions on a range of topics," the freshman senator's campaign says this morning in a release.
The campaign has released a transcript of the ad:
MARCO: You get that?
ANNOUNCER: Super Bowl pick this year?
MARCO: The same one I have made for the last forty years: the Miami Dolphins.
ANNOUNCER: Super Bowl pick winning percentage?
MARCO: I have never gotten a Super Bowl right.
ANNOUNCER: What's your fantasy football team name?
MARCO: This year, I think we are going to call it the Marco Polos.
ANNOUNCER: More nervous before first presidential debate or first college football game?
MARCO: I was more nervous before my first college football game, because you were actually going to get hit.
ANNOUNCER: Best football game you have ever been to?
MARCO: 1985 Monday Night Football, undefeated Bears against the Dolphins. And I was there with my dad. I will never forget that night.
ANNOUNCER: Favorite Miami Dolphins cheerleader?
MARCO: That's easy: Jeanette Rubio.
ANNOUNCER: Best coaching advice you ever gave your youth team?
MARCO: Have fun.
ANNOUNCER: Most important preparation for a big game or a big speech?
MARCO: Make sure there is water nearby - like right now.
I am Marco Rubio and I approved of this message.
