Related: About this forumMarco Rubio not told daughter was in accident until after rally for Romney
I dont know about you, but if my child were in a car accident, and in bad enough shape that she needed to be airlifted, Id like to know immediately, not after Im done campaigning for Mitt Romney.
It will be interesting to see whose staff, Rubios or Romneys, 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.

(576 posts)Teh Mittens: "No, no. Not until AFTER he is done giving a speech about how I would be a great president. Look, if she dies then she dies..there isn't anything Marco can do about it. Might as well get a good 20 minutes out of him before we let him know about the tragedy."
Staffer: "Good call sir. That's why you're the best! You know how to exploit someone better than anybody!"
Teh Mittens: "Well you dont spend a lifetime in vulture capitalism without learning how to use people you see as lower than you, amirite"
Both: " har har har har har"

(13,877 posts)I'd have likely decided that they don't need any more publicity that necessary...i.e. pull him out of a public speech, get a shot of his "first response", barrage him with questions or something. And to "blame" Rubio for it is insanity. He didn't know. Apparently her mother was able to handle things just fine. Let's move on.
