After promising myself I could never vote for Willard, but reconsidering after nightmares of another four years of the Kenyan Fraud, I had decided that I might be able to suppress the gag reflex enough to pull the lever for Mitt if he chose a small government VP.

If it's Portman, all bets are off--one more inside-the-beltway, party boy, establishment, big government Republican.

The Stupid Party; giving a whole new meaning to a flat learning curve.

Is Portman pro-life?

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

I wish he would seriously consider David Petraeus.

Romney is light on foreign affairs, anti-terrorism and the military and Petraeus could provide balance.

Also, I would like to the this ticket adopt a new campaign theme:

“Competence”

Let’s see...a big-government Bush administration insider who has been around Washington for 30 years? What could possibly go wrong?

[newheart]

Choosing Portman would be all about winning Ohio. And finding someone who would not out-charisma Myth. For my money they’d be better off focusing on Florida, bringing on Rubio, and letting the charisma issue go.

So two tall skinny pale white guys........

[rjones42]

Natalie?

[Paladin2]

Cool!

[Parley Baer]

I hope not. Voting for Romney is hard enough to swallow let alone having Portman on the ticket.

How many times can the author use the word “establishment” in the article. Pretty much answers your question concerning the possible VP selection.

[Rutles4Ever]

Has Romney Already Chosen Orange Juice for Breakfast?

[null and void]

I thought she was a Hillary!™ fan?

[Right Wing Assault]

but he’s no Bob Taft

Well, there's one thing thing in his favor.

[pallis]

No Senators please, establishment, conservative, or otherwise.

[Lou Budvis]

To me the best choice is Jindal. Executive experience, worked on healthcare, young, ethnic, superb academic credentials, pro-life.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Portman continues to garner plaudits from the establishment media, but most importantly, he is the clear favorite of many establishment Republican insiders.

Gee, with endorsements from both "the establishment media" and "many establishment Republican insiders", what could possibly go wrong?

[longtermmemmory]

another RINO?

where is he on homosexual based marriage? if he support it then he is out.

Does he oppose the federal marriage amendment? if not then he is out.

This UN small arms anti-second amendment treaty?

Obamatax?

Portman is not even on the f-list let alone the a-list.

[Mr. K]

If he chooses Portman I am 100% guaranteed to vote for Romney

[jch10]

Yes, truly the Stupid Party, but Mitt could do worse. I shudder to think of the RINOs he might choose!

[RnMomof7]

Is anyone surprised?
