Predicting a close election in November, former Bush Administration official and Ohio congressman Rob Portman called on Hoosiers to back Republican presidential candidate John McCain at rally Tuesday evening in Fishers.
Hes an authentic American hero and a common sense conservative, Portman told the partisan crowd.
Portman is on McCains short list of potential vice presidential running mates. A six-term congressman, he also served as the United States Trade Representative and most recently as President Bushs Director of the Office of Management and Budget, a post previously held by Gov. Mitch Daniels.

The VP fields on both sides appear to be narrowing. And who is chosen will be far more important than it usually is.

It is all about image, nothing about ability or experience. It will be a woman, or a black...to ‘balance’ the ticket.

McCain will also need my neighboring county of Lake. He will be here.

Rob Portman is a former Congressman from Ohio who has served in the Bush administration. He's well-regarded in his home town of Cincinnati.

McCain will be in Lake County (the county where I was born). Every Presidential candidate has been there since Bob Dole. That county is nearly a swing county now.

Sounds interesting. Maybe you can tell Freepers how it went after it’s over.

I work in a law firm. One of our attorneys worked for Mr. Portman in the White House.

I went to a rally for W four miles down the street for me. W, Laura and his daughters were there.
I went to a rally in ‘96 and shook Bob Dole, Bob Dole’s hand.

He sounds great except for FAIR giving him a score of zero on illegal immigration, I believe.

“One of our attorneys worked for Mr. Portman in the White House.”
What was this attorney’s impression of Mr. Portman?

You shook Bob Dole ? How rude.

It may be a woman - perhaps Palin or Whitman - but it won’t be a black. It’s too obviously pandering.

Just what a great guy Mr. Portman is. That particular person doesn't say much or talk politics much at all.

I remember I was in downtown Cleveland working late. John Kerry had a rally around 9:00 or 9:30 p.m. literally across the street. Hardly anyone was there. I did report that here on FR. LOL.
