Another day and more entirely speculative talk about Marco Rubio’s prospects for being presumptive Republican Mitt Romney’s vice presidential pick. (And by the way, get ready to get real sick of that word “presumptive.” It’s more common than “reputed mobster” and not nearly as cool-sounding.)

Gov. Rick Scott on Friday used his weekly address to praise the state budget he signed this week as promoting Florida's economy by investing in its public education system.
