When the newspaper endorsed Senator Rubio in the past I am sure the editorial staff didn't expect Marco Rubio to be a candidate for President and simply abandon the needs of Florida.

After five years in the U.S. Senate, Marco Rubio (click here) does not like his job. A long-time friend told The Washington Post "he hates it." Rubio says hate might be too strong a word, but he sure acts like he hates his job.
Rubio has missed more votes than any other senator this year. His seat is regularly empty for floor votes, committee meetings and intelligence briefings. He says he's MIA from his J-O-B because he finds it frustrating and wants to be president, instead.
"I'm not missing votes because I'm on vacation," he told CNN on Sunday. "I'm running for president so that the votes they take in the Senate are actually meaningful again."
Sorry, senator, but Floridians sent you to Washington to do a job. We've got serious problems with clogged highways, eroding beaches, flat Social Security checks and people who want to shut down the government....
There are other candidates running for President while governing today and have not missed votes in their capacity, including that of Democrats.
