Good, because I think Portman would be an awful pick.
Wait until the birthers come here..
I hope he’s not picked unless he backs off of his DREAM Act amnesty for illegal aliens.
Try Sarah Palin, already vetted and draws crowds, unlike romney. Do you really think peeps will let rubio or jindal slide from the natural born issue.
Romney will pick some non-threatening, relatively non-controversial, white Republican establishment guy.
Probably Portman.
He really smacked it. Unless he’s got some pretty embarrassing skeletons in his closet, I think Romney’s going to nominate him. He would make either Biden or Clinton look ridiculous in a debate.
I saw the interview. He WAS awesome. His immigration plan for children of illegals was something I could stomach if it meant winning the Hispanic vote. Hard to tell at this point if that would be the case though.
Sorry. Rubio is not a conservative despite all the salivating over him by the media and the Republican elite. He has betrayed conservatives by selling out in order to get the vice presidency. I don’t trust him at all.
Romney-Rubio Amnesty campaign or Romney-Who?
At this point I don’t really think his VP choice matters.
forget marky’s wet dream act. Try that eskimo Palin family in alaska.
My goodness. If he were a second term Senator he would have won the nomination easily.
Johnny McCain just said that obamney needs to name a VP that could be president. He said that’s what he did 4 years ago [with Sarah]. What qualifications does rubio have.
I think its going to be Michigan governor Rick Snyder.
As much as I like Rubio, his bio reports that while he was born in the US, his parents were not naturalized until after his birth.
Question to Rubio supporters: why push Rubio for Veep even though he is not “natural born”?
IMO, Rubio makes the case for conservatism as well or better than anyone else out there.
Romney isn’t going to pick a VP that shines brighter than the boss
Any ticket headed by Romney is incapable of a ‘grand slam’.
Rubio is smooth, smart and ambitious. All admirable qualities from my perspective though we would see things differently on illegals I’m sure. He’s plenty sharp enough to be the VP, much sharper than the dullard currently occupying that office, and he gives off a certain aura that tells me he would have no problem going for the prince’s throat and do it with a smile.
Though I like Palin a lot and we see eye to eye on almost all policy questions honesty compels me to say that Rubio is much more polished. Whether that is a good or bad thing I have not decided.
