Two Floridians, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush, appeared Saturday in a building where everything from kitchen cutlery to hot tubs is sold during the Iowa State Fair.

The sitting U.S. senator and former two-term governor each used the setting to sell themselves as uniquely suited for the presidency. Each also subtly drew contrasts with the other in appearances at a 10-candidate Republican event in the state that will host the first 2016 nomination contest in three months.
