While the Usual Suspects in the MSM and in the Democrat party [1] (but I repeat myself) have made sure to laugh, ridicule, and mock Senator Marco Rubio’s SOTU response from last night purely on the basis of his “water gaffe [2]” (rather than the actual SUBSTANCE, of course), Rubio was busy earning new followers and potential future voters – to the tune of over 13,000 (via Twitchy Team [3]):
Picked up over 13,000 new followers on #twitter [4] since last night! Im going to start drinking #water [5] in the middle of all of my speeches!

For the record, here was his full response [7] to Obama’s SOTU on video. The transcript here [8].
All in all, nice work, Senator Rubio! The petty juveniles on the left have had their fun at the Florida Senator’s expense, but in the end, he wins.
