Rubio Prediction: Obama's Campaign Plan = 'Smear' GOP Opponent

With all the media chatter about the GOP super PACs assault on the airwaves, Sen. Marco Rubio predicts the Obama campaign will take negative ads to the next level.

The Republican senator of Florida told Newsmax.TV that, void of a successful record for the president to run on, what youre going to see is a fight and [an Obama] campaign thats going to do two things: absolutely eviscerate and smear on a personal level the people hes running against, basically attempt to disqualify them as people.And the second thing I think you will see him do is, he will run a campaign of dividing Americans against each other, trying to get 51 percent of Americans to buy into the notion that theyll be better off if they give him the power to make other people worse off.

Rubio said the most important characteristic needed in the GOP presidential candidate is someone who can draw a clear contrast with the current president and show a blueprint that takes the country in a better direction than Obama's policies.

Contrary to what some analysts and pundits have theorized, Rubio believes the primary fight has strengthened, not weakened, the GOP field, saying, All of these candidates bring particular strengths. The one thing Ive been saying is that this field is underrated, and I think if you look at the candidates that remain, they are all so much better today than they were 12 months ago."
