In reply to the discussion: Romney says Rubio being 'thoroughly vetted' [View all]Bjorn Against
(12,041 posts)11. Is it normal for Presidential candidates to announce who they are vetting for the position?
It would seem by making this announcement Romney is either locking himself in to picking Rubio or he is going to leave the appearance that Rubio failed the vetting process and is going to damage him. Romney is either dead set on Rubio or he is extremely stupid for making this statement.

Obama is not their candidate. They want someone to represent them. Rubio will be rejected.
