Republican National Committee Health Plans Cover Elective Abortion
This is not a Friday the 13th hoax. This is a real scare. It is also embarrassing and wrong: (from Politico)

According to several Cigna employees, the insurer offers its customers the opportunity to opt out of abortion coverage – and the RNC did not choose to opt out.

Michael Steele states “Money from our loyal donors should not be used for this purpose,” and that he would act immediately to bring the policy to an end. Um, yeah, you had better.

Two recent events will give Rubio a HUGE boost in the race: The Club for Growth endorsed Rubio, and Rubio was just confirmed as a keynote speaker for CPAC 2010 in February. Good luck young Rubio. We shall watch your career with great interest.
