Rubio endorses Allen in Va. Senate race

Republican Senate candidate George Allen on Thursday welcomed to the Virginia campaign trail Sen. Marco Rubio, of Florida, whose endorsement Allen is hoping will help energize his own political comeback attempt.

“What we need is a leader in Washington, D.C., in both the Senate and in the White House, that understands the fundamental facts about how the economy grows and prospers,” Rubio said. “If we don’t change leadership, we can’t change track.”
