This was Rubio's second nonvictory moment: In Iowa, Rubio had finished third, yet it was in some ways declared a win, since he "overperformed expectations," as The Washington Post put it. A slew of media outlets concurred: Rubio was clearly the GOP candidate with the broadest appeal. New Hampshire had been a disaster, of course, but then Rubio rebounded – "Marcomentum!"
