Why does this send my Spidey senses tingling?

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?
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?
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........
Natalie?
Why would Romney pick someone different than him?
Paul Ryan. It’s the economy, jobs,and health care. No one comprehends the substance of the issues better than Ryan.
“Is Portman pro-life?”
Not sure.
“Let’s see...a big-government Bush administration insider who has been around Washington for 30 years? What could possibly go wrong?”
It’s like we’re stuck in a time warp where a stupid decision is made, it plays out to its inevitable disaster, then loops to repeat itself endlessly.
“So two tall skinny pale white guys........”
Non-preferred gender persons of non-color.

Cool!
Didn’t Petraeus describe himself as a ‘Rockefeller Republican’ or something similar?
There’s nothing in a military man resume suggestive of small-government instincts.
I hope not. Voting for Romney is hard enough to swallow let alone having Portman on the ticket.
For Real.
Who the heck is he anyway. He’s been there 30 years and I don’t recall any peep out of him. He certainly wasn’t getting TV time pushing back against Reid. Did he tote McConnell’s oxygen bottle? He’s a budget/finance guy?? Heck of a lot of good that is when the Senate hasn’t done a budget in 3 years.
This sucks. Get some gonads so-to-speak in the VP slot.
I favor Ryan at this point.
Condi Rice would fit that bill. Works for me.
I mean, I’m already holding my nose and voting AGAINST the Kenyan - not necessarily FOR the Republican contender.
How many times can the author use the word “establishment” in the article. Pretty much answers your question concerning the possible VP selection.
Must have been a bit nippy in that room.
