A local Notre Dame student, junior Luke Smith, recently reported to the Rover that he just now noticed he has not received a single pestering email from the Marco Rubio campaign for over four weeks. Smith was mildly perplexed this week when he checked his email once again and still found no emails from the Rubio campaign.

“It’s just kind of weird,” said Smith. “In the past, I would get three or four emails a day, all asking me to donate to the campaign or to volunteer at my local “Elect Rubio!” chapter. But all of a sudden, the emails just stopped.”

When pressed further, Smith admitted he does not follow politics all that closely.

“I don’t really like watching the news,” said Smith. “But I know my boy Rubio has what it takes to go all the way to the White House. I am really looking forward to voting for him in the general election.”

A nearby freshman who overheard the conversation piped in, saying,  “I like Rubio too! But my money’s still on Jeb Bush. Though it’s strange, I haven’t gotten any Jeb! emails in a while either.”
