Unless the Romney campaign is throwing us a ringer, we can eliminate Martinez, Haley and Rice. That leaves Sen Rob Portman (R-OH), Sen Marco Rubio (R-FL), Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI), and Former Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-MN) as the most speculated candidates.

I'll stick with my original choice of Portman who might help Romney with 1% to 2% vote in Ohio, which Romney desperately needs to win.

The big question is: will Sarah Palin be invited to speak at the convention and what time slot will she be allotted?
