Ohio ping
Rob Portman is an OK running mate to a poor nominee. I have nothing in particular against Portman, but he isn’t an exciting or inspiring nominee, either. The only possible drawback would be his work in the Bush Administration.
Ramming that down our throats day in and day out. The fix has been in since 2008.
“Romney needs to make a safe pick, and keep talking about the economy — and that’s Rob Portman,”
Yep. The country is headed over the falls morally and financially - plus of course, the whole Constitution.
So they push RINOmney. He (appears) to be winning based on a lame campaign, combined with huge spending on negative ads toward conservative
candidates.
Now when it comes time to name a VP, the establishment wants him to go the safe route...
And people are chomping at the bit to pretend RINOmney is conservative. They are pretending the country is no where near the falls.
... but Romney will get those deck chairs all aligned.
I don’t want to knock Rob Portman. I’m glad that he is on our side. But, as an ardent Rick Santorum supporter, I still wouldn’t vote for Romney even if he were to pick Rick as his VP.
The Congress-critters want one of theirs to be appointed.
Well, if nothing else, the one useful thing to come out of 2012 will be a data point showing that when the GOP runs a RINO VP candidate with a RINO Pres candidate, they lose even worse than when they run a RINO Pres with a conservative VP candidate.
This is typical Karl Rove micro managing left brain small minded thinking. Work a key precinct here or there and damned having any kind of big attractive message. These folks are idiots.
Rob Portman is a zero on the excitement factor, giving us two zero’s on the ticket.
The GOPe is trying to lose this election as badly as possible
Romney SHOULD choose Paul Ryan.
I have a sinking feeling we’ll eventually end up with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dummy.

President Bush yesterday named Rep. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), a free-trade advocate who is well-regarded by lawmakers in both parties, as his choice for U.S. trade representative.
Unless the slaves revolt and leave the R plantation!
He has that “Who...!” appeal.
so long as it doesn’t cost us a senator in the process.
The ‘insiders’ continue to show their disconnect with political reality.
I have never heard this name before
The PRESIDENT ticket is not yet decided so why talk about VPO
