Marco Rubio is Not a Robot. Robots Are Smarter.

In the recent GOP debate in Manchester, New Hampshire, Chris Christie pointed out that Marco Rubio keeps mechanically repeating a few rehearsed phrases over and over. Critics and protesters are calling the Florida Senator “Robot Rubio,” “Marcobot,” Rubio Bot,” and “Robo-Rubio.” That’s unfair.

Marco Rubio is not a robot. Robots are smarter than that.

If you’re a registered Republican, you’re probably old enough to recognize what Mr. Rubio really is. He’s not a robot and not a broken record. He’s Chatty Marco.

In 1960, Mattel Inc. introduced the Chatty Cathy doll. It had a pull-string voicebox; when the string was pulled it “spoke”and played back one of a dozen pre-recorded phrases at random. Cathy was not designed to respond to changing circumstances with new utterances. Robots, however, can do that through AI, and they are constantly learning new responses.

See? Marco Rubio is not a robot.

Romney Wins New Hampshire Primary

Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire GOP primary election Tuesday. His warm and genuine personality won over reluctant Republicans in the Granite State. Second place went to geriatric gynecologist Ron Paul. Now it’s on to South Carolina and the monumental Clash of the Titans. Governor Romney and disgraced former Congressman Newt Gingrich will look on as their Super PACs battle to the death.

Tiger Woods Moving to New Hampshire?

Is professional golfer Tiger Woods moving to New Hampshire? The state may be extending an invitation by de-criminalizing adultery.

We have not been able to determine if  South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford has joined the New Hampshire Republican Party, but South Carolina is linked to the Granite State by the Appalachian Trail.
