Already the buzz is growing about the next presidential contest Republican senator -- rubio was an Iowa over the weekend.

Could hearing is that featured speaker governor Terry brands since.

Birthday party in fund raiser.

Now fueling speculation that he's already looked into the White House and when he sixteen rubio crack -- a joke about his possible next.

Let's just address right up front the elephant in the room because any time anyone makes a trip to Iowa people start speculating about what you're gonna do in the future and -- -- let me just be -- I am not now nor will ever be a candidate for offensive coordinator of Iowa.

I know those rumors.

Nice touch I don't did die hard guys whenever we get and -- a share.

Kirsten Powers would know she's a Daily Beast columnists in the Fox News contributor and Rich Lowry.

Better than national review and also Fox's contributor good morning to both of you yeah -- ritual only 38 months away I mean -- go ahead stir the pot.

And I usually late to do Miami Iowa caucus projections until.

Early 2013 -- -- how -- they play twelve is way too early.

Don't look there's a huge amount of interest and Marco Rubio it started.

Almost on election night because he he obviously is very talented politician -- lot -- holes the Republican Party.

Has had recently he's young he's charismatic he's a Latino son.

Of immigrants he gave far away its hands down the best speech at the Republican Convention so if you're gonna do.

Presidential preference poll right now some shirts some polls you'll do very soon of Republican voters who they prefer and -- sixteen I imagine rubio -- right Tom Jackson.

So what do you make -- this visit he raised 600000.

Dollars in the governor says that is a record.

Yeah -- like this this time.

Man I don't make that much amid a -- that's not surprising I think that it's it's pretty clear that this is the path that he's been on that I'd be shocked if he didn't end up throwing his hat in the ring.

Assuming that he -- the same sort of stature that he has right now on the Republican Party and that that I assume will only grow over you know the next.

Few years before we kick -- the next presidential election officially.

So.

Yeah I I guess I think this is this this has to be expected and expect to see more this is part of this.

A part of what he said we need to do a better job -- going on convincing her fellow Americans who perhaps don't see that things things that way we do.

-- -- you one -- those Republicans who think the party has to do a complete overhaul.

-- 180 well one I'm against panic and against.

Skating on things in in a rush I I think clearly.

Most important task for it and the party and and rubio is getting at this is a better economic appeal.

Kind of -- and daughter.

Appeal to middle class voters and Mitt Romney.

Basically lost the economic debate to Barack Obama and I think the reason is he didn't connect with those voters.

-- which has a lot to do -- is.

-- personal wealth of -- styles of politician but he also didn't connect with them on and convince them on substance and I think that's substantive question.

How do you make Republican.

Economics -- conservative economics more appeal that cities -- -- that's the most imports are.

I think Andre I think folks on the right have short memories -- -- there 24 months removed from a -- -- in the mid terms.

And that really shot Democrats and really got their ground operation after running a lot sooner than would otherwise and -- -- -- make it back.

While back on the ground operation and -- for Barack Obama started building his campaign the day after he got elected and I and I do think that that.

The Republican Party has an infrastructure problem and and I assume that they probably figured that out and won't work on the hot it over the next four years.

Because that in the end of the day I think his wife yes they had a problem with their message yes they picked a candidate that there was sort of particularly.

Ill suited for the times.

But at the same time I do think that a lot of this has to do the fact that Obama.

Knew where -- voters -- who you -- and went out on -- part of that's right exactly -- and -- -- -- out and stayed in contact with them for four years back -- went -- -- and -- find out the -- voters who were there in 2008 that's exactly what I -- and it's pretty simple.

By the way Michigan beat Iowa 42 to seventeen.

So maybe her -- on the -- I had a few donated that score many points if you stop until you got the offensive coordinator you're not offensive coordinate is -- offensive coordinator -- -- probably not a rubio supporter of -- -- -- -- -- -- Let's thank you -- and -- foxnews.com.

Is the email also -- Twitter.

Send me a tweak that Bill Hemmer because you asked -- and take questions right now are.
