Who give the GOP response tonight chief national correspondent Jim Angle on Florida senator Marco Rubio.

What keeps me up at night -- -- terrorist coming across the border senator Marco Rubio is giving the Republican response to the president because he's a leader on many issues and one of the biggest stars in the party.

The combination of rubio is eloquent star power and his positions on immigration and other issues of interest to Hispanics.

Makes him really unbeatable for this position.

His signature effort now is a carefully crafted immigration plan likely to draw bipartisan support.

Any issues dear to him.

-- and read about this and a book.

In fact rubio has more experience than Obama because he was speaker of the house in the mega state of Florida.

In short analysts say rubio is what Republican leaders hope their party will become.

-- Thanks Jim.
