Marco Rubio Not Being Vetted to Be Mitt Romney’s Running Mate
ABC News ^ | Jun 19, 2012 | Jonathan Karl

Posted on 06/19/2012 4:26:47 AM PDT by Palmetto Patriot

Even before the Republicans chose a presidential nominee it was widely assumed that Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., would be at the top of anybody’s list of vice presidential candidates. The reasons are obvious: Not only is he young, charismatic and wildly popular with conservatives, but he could also help Republicans win a key state (Florida) and make inroads with Hispanics.

But knowledgeable Republican sources tell me that Rubio is not being vetted by Mitt Romney’s vice presidential search team. He has not been asked to complete any questionnaires or been asked to turn over any financial documents typically required of potential vice presidential candidates.

Although it is possible that Rubio may yet be asked to go through the vetting process, it has been nearly two months since Romney named his long-time aide Beth Myers to run his vice presidential search. The fact that Rubio has not been asked to turn over any documents by now is a strong indication that he is not on Romney’s short list of potential running mates.

...and make inroads with Hispanics.

Ask him how he intends to make inroads with Americans, especially white Americans?

It may come to shock the White House, but I would suspect it’s a governor out there in the heartland who is the inside choice. If you look at 2020 or 2024, Rubio is likely to be President.

I don`t think }omney will pick Rubio. He could accomplish geographical reach and give a nod to hispanics and women all in one by bringing on NM Gov Susana Martinez.

Or...

How about red-blooded, rock-ribbed Rep. Allen West? He`d shore standing among the legacy military (unlike today`s pink version).

Pick Allen West. Just keep referring to him as an American Hero and then ask American blacks do they want to be like Obama or West.

Then let the chips fall where they may.

Dear Sen. Rubio: On what date were you born and on what did your parents become Naturalized Citizens of The United States of America? No more BS, just answer the damn!

I think Marco moved himself way down the list with his timely comment that he would illegally sneak into the US if he couldn’t make enough money to feed his family.

This is a classic case for why our founding fathers created the “natural born citizen” rule for VP and POTUS. Born in the US of two US citizens. Marco is not far enough removed from Cuba to put America first. He’s not eligible to be VP or President and there is a very good reason why.
