Rubio: I Won't Tell Newt to Drop Out

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, a leading vice presidential favorite for many Republicans, says he doesn’t think that Newt Gingrich or anybody else should be told to quit the contentious GOP presidential race.

In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times, Rubio said he’s not concerned about presidential process dragging on too long, and that the election will be “reframed” once the Republicans have their candidate.

“I don’t think anybody should be told to drop out,” Rubio said. “I think people should run until they feel that either they don’t want to continue or they don’t see a path to victory. I’ve never [believed] in asking people to drop out of a race because I had a bunch of people ask me to drop out of a race.”

Other excerpts from the interview:
On vice president: “I’m not going to be vice president” and he "wouldn't know how to" campaign for the position.
On Rush Limbaugh: The talk radio host has dealt with the controversy over his comments about a Georgetown law student “adequately. He’s spoken about it, he’s apologized.”
