You’re the hiring partner of an elite law firm and the resumes of two recent law school grads land on your desk. Which one will you hire: Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio ?

Is there any doubt that the young Cruz wins the prize? He’s got the kind of pedigree that makes hiring partners drool like starving toddlers: Princeton undergrad, Harvard Law School (where he served on law review) and Supreme Court clerk to Justice Rehnquist. Quick: Give him that $300,000 bonus and snag him up!
