Bob Menendez and Marco Rubio? Marco Rubio, Bob Menendez?

All of the sudden as 2013 kicks into gear two Cuban American Senators Bob Menendez and Marco Rubio have taken the spotlight. Why?

Last week, these same men headlined at Hillary R. Clinton's Benghazi Attack Hearings; This week they are front and center at the Immigration Reform Plan. Why?

It's a Jersey City-Miami thing? Is it a Northeast-South Florida phenomenon?

These two out of 100 are best suited for this job?

Why are they so prominent? So Prolific?

Somehow I feel a star is being created; someone  is being groomed, catapulted to the top.
