Marco Rubio not told daughter was in accident until after rally for Romney

[kpete]

We need to know more, but I do find it interesting that no one reportedly told GOP Senator Marco Rubio that his daughter was airlifted to a hospital in stable condition following a car accident until AFTER he was done doing a campaign rally with Mitt Romney.

Miami Herald:

Rubio was notified of the accident after coming off stage while campaigning with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in Kissimmee.

The Washington Post has the same story. And the AP is reporting that Rubio was informed after coming off stage AFTER the rally was over.

I don’t know about you, but if my child were in a car accident, and in bad enough shape that she needed to be airlifted, I’d like to know immediately, not after I’m done campaigning for Mitt Romney.

It will be interesting to see whose staff, Rubio’s or Romney’s, made the decision not to tell Rubio that his daughter was laying on a stretcher until after he was done giving his campaign speech for Mitt Romney.

1. Priorities

[Jennicut]

2. It makes one wonder. It wouldn't put anything past Mitt.

Poor kid. She had a concussion and it was a golf cart accident. She is only 12. As a mother of 7 and 8 year old girls, that is always your worst fear. Something happening to your children. President Obama and VP Biden also called Rubio. I may not agree with his politics, but no one ever wants to hear about something like this.

3. Actually, I don't need to know anything more than these people are one evolutionary step beneath

Hyenas.

But but but....they don't believe in evolution, so what am I talking about?

4. Politicians are in FL and bad things happen they react slowly? Dubya on 9/11???

It is a Repug thing I am sure... WE WOULD RUN FOR THE FRIGGING EXITS. But these "people" finish reading a stupid book or finish a stupid rally and then react.

WOW.

5. Why is it assumed that Rubio's staff kept the information from him

until after his speech? I read all the linked articles and didn't see anything to indicate this. Could it be that the staff didn't know of the accident until he was already on stage?

I can't stand Rubio, or any repukes for that matter, but this seems like kind of a leap. I don't see why it is assumed that the staff decided to withhold the news from him.

OBAMA-BIDEN 2012 !!!

6. You know... we don't know what happened here

For all we know the information came in just as he was finishing up.

Let's not use this little girl's accident as a as a political mudball.

We are better then the other side in this regard.

7. Well, as long as they've got their priorities straight ... nt
