Mitt Romney's campaign says the presumed Republican presidential nominee will announce his running mate Saturday morning in Norfolk, Va.
The short list—if there is one—is believed to include Ohio Rep. Rob Portman, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. …

Sorry; put wrong date. This came out five minutes ago at the source indicated, ATTOW.
I am going to say it will be Allen West
Better be Ryan..
Ryan!
Paul Ryan
On Faux news 30 min ago. Likely Ryan. WOO HOO!
In the past couple of weeks Mittens has tried his best to give the election to Obummer. Not fighting back from the lies of Obama. Not attacking the ward politician. Playing Mr. Niceguy. If he does not pick Rubio to help him with conservatives and to almost guarantee a Florida win, he’s given up. Don’t win Florida, you don’t win the White House. It’s as simple as that. Paul Ryan does not win Florida for him or Virginia. If it’s Paul Ryan the Obummer machine will rack him over the coals on his budget plan and every five minutes you’ll be seeing the Ryan-lookalike pushing grandma over the cliff. Anyway, that’s how I see it.
Virginia... Eric Cantor maybe?
The article touts that the Romney campaign is in such big trouble. It’s the media meme.
Final names Ryan, Rubio, Pawlenty, Christie, Portman and one unnamed wild card...
But the announcement is in VIRGINIA... McDonnell?
Ditto to that..Ryan. Or Romneys a fool.
He’s making the announcement in Virginia... So I’m going to say the VP nominee will be Bob McDonnell.
I wouldn’t really have a problem with this choice, especially given that this election could very well hinge on the outcome in Virginia.
Cantor ??? Time to put the bottle away for the night . ; )
Washington Post is saying the announcement will be made aboard the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk— guess that’s a big hint.
YAAAAAAWN.
And one more thing. Saturday morning? Why not just do it in a document dump on Friday evening?
Oh yeah... could be McDonnell too.
I hope it’s Ryan though.
Could be several reasons for choosing VA other than McConnell .
You want Romney to be tougher, but you fear the dems will show Ryan pushing grandma over the cliff. So then he should pick a less tough vp?
Romney has been fighting back, he’s no mister nice guy. In the words of conservative hero Dan Rather: Courage.
Ryan would be a great choice! But really, the bench is pretty dang strong this time around. Rubio was my favorite, but Ryan would definitely work.
I am fired up for Romney-Ryan! Time to fire Obama!
Yep. 80% of America will still be asleep at 8:00 on Saturday morning. Are they trying to avoid publicity?
“Better be Ryan..”
Of those in the running he is my choice.
They are trying to be too damn cute.
Considering the Dems are riunning Lenny and Squiggy, Obama and Biden should appear too.
The only VP announcement coming from Romney that would excite me about his so-called campaign would be for him to say that HE will be the VP with Palin or Santorum at the top of the ticket.

It could also very well be a surprise pick out of left field whom no one is thinking. This happens more often than not. After all, who accurately predicted John McCain picking Sarah Palin for VP four years ago?
Maybe... That could still be Petraeus as well.
I want Christie. Not because I like his politics, but because he’ll shove every Obama lie right back up his a$$...
Eyan is a fine young man. Even if romney loses, which he is doing— it finally sets up a conservative in our future and not a socialist rino.

Even if it isn’t Ryan, all is not lost. I think Paul Ryan would be a perfect fit for Treasury Secretary!
Yeah I noticed that, trying to give the impression that Romney is losing. Yet Rasmussen has Romney up by 4, and Gallup has it tied. The Obamedia knows 0 is in trouble. Hoping to manufacture momentum to get the jug eared emperor across the finish line.
In case that post made no sense, Lenny and Squiggy were stupid, foolish characters from Milwaukee. I consider them akin to Obama and Biden. A couple of doofuses.
Thank you, Jesus.
Romney’s it. Get over it.
I agree - Allen West would be fan-freekin-tastic.
Keep waiting to get sold on Ryan. Waiting. Waiting.
Oh yeah, when Kolob freezes over.
Oh yeah, when Kolob freezes over.
Ryan is a STUPID VP pick. He needs to be budget director or ways & means chairman.
He looks 20 years old. NOT presidential. Not an attack dog.
McDonnell is the only smart choice. Looking like he is the pick. Announcement in Virginia.
Dang..you beat me to it! (Or maybe great minds thinking alike).
A Saturday morning announcement makes no sense.
I really thought he would wait until the Olympics were over as well.
Greta Van Susteran tweeted that Secret Service was seen going to Ryan’s home, but than she deleted the tweet..I’d bet good money(If I was a betting person) that Ryan is the VP pick
Eric was in KC today at an event for Lynn Jenkins. He told us he would be campaigning on Saturday with Mitt back home in VA. My guess was originally Ryan. But then why VA. Cantor is a very dynamic guy, very smart able guy.
USS Wisconsin??? a certain popular right wing gov maybe???
Paul Ryan...Wisconsin...bet on it!!!
How is he losing?? Rasmussen has Romney up by 4 the past 2 days. Even the over sampled Democrat registered voter polls don't look that good for 0.
The media knows Obama is in trouble, that's why they're manufacturing a fake lead.
I sure hope so but I’m not holding my breath. I hope he doesn’t choose Pawlenty. Shsssh!
