2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Poll: Who do YOU think Mitt Romney will pick to be his VP running mate? [View all]Daniel537
(1,560 posts)35. I still think it'll be Rubio
The fact that he's stopped talking about whether or not he wants to be VP shows that he's probably being vetted by the Romney campaign. I think Romney would probably be more comfortable with a Rob Portman, but he desperately needs to win Florida and has to put somebody on the ticket to the gin up the not so enthusiastic base. Also i wouldn't discount Brian Sandoval. Romney is in big trouble out West.

How about Portman? Isn't he from Ohio, or is Ohio a lost cause for the Pukes?

She also wears the bush-cheney tar. Makes it tough for her to get any traction.

My guess is Portman. Someone bland, boring, and unlikely to rock the boat. Like Romney.

Portman. Rubio blew it with his speech last week when he lost the last page of his speech.
