LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Florida Senator Marco Rubio is possibly gathering a campaign team, planning out a slew of state visits starting in February, and is also heading out to California next week to fundraise, skipping out on Senate votes during that time frame.

Rubio has hired finance director Anna Rogers from American Crossroads, and an aide to Rubio told NBC news that Rubio has been talking with two large GOP donors; George Seay, the founder and current CEA of Annadale Capital, and Jim Rubrich the former CEO of RockTenn.
While these actions do not guarantee that Rubio will run, it seems likely that he will, as several major potential candidates have already begun setting up campaigns or visiting states to drum up support.
Are you taking care of your mind and body? What about your spiritual health?
If Rubio decided to run he will be entering an already crowded field which hosts the likes of Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, New Jersey's governor Chris Christie and the current governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker.
Republicans will be fighting for potential spots early on, and it is still unclear whether more presidential hopefuls will enter the ring. No one potential presidential candidate has a large percentage of the Republican party backing them except Mitt Romney, but Democrats do already have a potential front runner, Hillary Clinton, which may give them a decisive edge in 2016.
