Morning Joe: Portman Predicted As Romney VP Pick
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

With not one Republican primary vote cast yet, we're getting way ahead of ourselves by speculating about whom Mitt Romney might pick as his vice-presidential running mate. But Willie Geist did invite Politico's Mike Allen to make his "bold predictions" for 2012. And Allen delivered, prognosticating that Romney would pick Ohio Republican Senator Rob Portman as his ticket-mate.

Mark Halperin strongly seconded Allen's assertion.

Well, he could do worse. Portman has seemed decent so far as a Senator.

The BIG question though - would his replacement be appointed by Kasich?

If Romney is the Nominee, I would like to see him pick Marco Rubio.

I’m going with either Rubio or Susana Martinez, preferably martinez.

She is way better than Rubio.

If vp is senator, there will be special election. Former senator or governer, or red state senator/gov would be better

Marco Rubio has made it VERY clear that he would not accept. Some might change their minds....but I honestly don’t think Rubio will.

rom-knee would be well advised to accept the selection made for him by his handlers...

A squeeky clean, black, southern, conservative, woman.

But it matters not, for if the economy improves, the stain will be around for yet another four years.

“If Mittens is the nominee I predict Joe Biden will be VP 01/20/2013”

“he will pick a conservative for Veep, that you can be sure...”

...and many of those now howling against his candidacy will become his biggest cheerleaders. Sickening but expected and has a precedent. See the 2008 GOP race.

Because that’s what we have to do.
