Almost time for Willard to reveal his choice for VP - assuming he has already made the decision.

Is it a woman? He needs a female on the ticket.

Is it a hispanic? He needs a hispanic on the ticket.

Is it a hispanic woman? Has Martinez been vetted?

Is it a tea person? He needs to appease that group.

Is it a person from a swing state? Ohio and Florida are the two largest swing states in play and Obama is leading in both states.

Pundits are saying Portman - a "safe" white guy.

we can be sure that no matter who he picks will be better than Biden!!

Got to win Florida----Jeb Bush (dark horse) or Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan too Polarizing also wrong State and Christy from the wrong State.

Seven speakers for the RNC were announced on Monday. They are Gov Rick Scott, most unpopular governor in the country; Senator John McCain; Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee; SC Gov Nikki Haley; OH Gov John Kasich; NM Gov Susana Martinez and Former Sec of State Condoleeza Rice.

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?

I will watch the RNC on the night when Junior and Dick speak - it will be interesting to hear what they have to say.

Neither George W Bush, George HW Bush, nor Dick Cheney will be attending the convention. Cheney declined because he is going fishing.

sarah has to be invited to speak - otherwise romney hands the election to obama! she has held sway for too many candidates in the mid-terms and has too many followers on facebook and too many tweeters to be ignored. loved the comment by one of the msnbc talking heads who stated that if she were not invited, she would hold a bigger convention on her facebook page!

but your question about what time slot is the big one in my book! i wonder if vegas has any odds on that one!!!

Heck you can be sure whomever hepicks will be better than Obama.

And by the way Ted Cruz from Texas made an impressive showing when visitng Chris Wallace on Fox News. That guy actually memorized the US constitution and its Amendments.

So did David Duke ...... all Cons appear impressive on Faux News. Why do you think they agree to be interviewed ONLY on Faux?

You won't see the VP pick until the GOP Convention at the earliest I'm thinking.

It's not important to reveal it now will the Obama team reeling in disarray, and so no real strategic advantage would be gained.

coralway: Seriously do yourself a favor and watch this guy. He was raised in a modest cuban-american enviroment and has such an appeciation of what America has to offer unlike most politicians. forget the label and watch the man

Good safe picks for Romney are Pawlenty or Portman. Riskier but still good are Ryan or Rubio. He will not do a stupid thing this time and pick some reactionary wing nut.

It was reported on MSNBC tonight that Senator Rob Portman had four times as many revisions made to his wikipedia account today than his closest competitor. It seems that in 2008, Sarah Palin also had numerous revisions the day before she became the nominee.
