Until now, Rubio's campaign events have more often than not been highly produced and made to look presidential with a roped-off stage, professional lighting and backdrops that often include a large American flag, a state flag and campaign signage. Entry and exit from events are roped off from the audience, allowing Rubio and his team to move quickly from one stop to the next and stay on schedule with media appearances, fundraising and other campaign events.Monday's event … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo In NH, Marco Rubio is embracing retail politics
