That's pretty pathetic, I think Romney/Pawlenty is a far worse ticket though.
The worst would be Romney/McCain. Ugggh, I shudder at that thought...
Romney needs Florida means the pick will be Rubio. That way Romney serves one term, and at the age of 70 does not run for relection. Rubio runs and serves eight years as president. Rubio will be able to steal the hispanic vote from the democrats.
