Rmoney's VP?

After watching the Lawrence show last night, they feel it has come down to 3, with Ryan being the front runner. I certainly hope he picks him, as he is a Medicare busting idiot. If he does, that should pretty much do it for Rmoney.(as though he hasn't done enough damage himself). It's a freaking circus for the right with all kinds of clowns to watch.

2. The choice would certainly be clear.

Hard to see the cautious Mittsy Rich going there, though. He's more likely to pick Portman, who may help him in Ohio.

3. I strongly agree it will be Portman

Romney needs both Ohio and Florida to have any semblance of a chance of winning (he'd need to win a bunch of other states as well obviously). Florida is relatively close, the gap in Ohio is widening for Obama.

His budget is such a target rich environment I'm not sure Chicago could get around to exploiting it fully before the election.
