"Instead of inspiring us by reminding us of what makes us special, he divides us against each other. He tells Americans that they're worse off because others are better off. That rich people got rich by making other people poor. Hope and Change has become Divide and Conquer." — U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., on President Barack Obama. ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — Convention Watch shows you the 2012 political conventions through the eyes of Associated Press journalists.

FILE - In this Oct. 5, 2011 file photo, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., speaks at the Newseum in Washington. It was Mitt Romney’s show. But New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie rocked the house. Rubio was the talk of the town. And Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan’s rising-star status was blinding as he accepted the party’s vice presidential nomination. The Republican Party’s next generation of leaders were in deep supply at the GOP’s national convention as they positioned for future national roles and, perhaps, even their own shot at the White House in four or eight years.
