Marco Rubio Plunks Little Kid in Head with Football

Nothing says "Strong Leader" like playing some good old American football in Iowa, home to the first step in winning your party's nomination for a run at the White House. Nothing says "this guy…maybe not this guy" like firing a football into small child's face. So here we have Marco Rubio, the Young Candidate, mixing it up on a field in casual Dad Wear—a red polo and jeans that says "I'm a dad, but I'm a dad who can kick back and relax in denim, so I should be the Republican nominee for President"— playing ball with some kids.

Rubio showed a nice touch, but maybe too much touch, because he hit the kid right in the head for an incompletion. The kid's OK, but he might have sat out the next play for a little water break.
