Both are good men but if they were automobiles,
Rubio would be a Jaguar XK8
Portman would be a Honda Accord
My problem is not with Portman per se, but with how poor of a VP pick he would be.
It would be the Rove (and probably Romney) conventional inside the beltway thinking that you must pick someone from a swing state. Portman would not “deliver” Ohio necessarily and he would bore the ever living hell out of the rest of the country. It’s the thought process behind a potential Portman pick that irritates me, not the man himself.

And West would be an M1A1
