I just don't think Romney picks someone who overshadows him like that.

I think this could happen with Jindal too which leaves Pawlenty. That's who my money is on.

Mitt will pick someone on the bland side. Just sayin.

Makes sense but Rubio brings some latino votes to the table..and Jindal not a good speaker imo...Pawlenty is plain vanilla like Mittster, maybe too much so...like i said change the ex to Rubio/Romney and cash a ticket..

I have heard him speak often and, forgetting his politics, he is just plain AWFUL. He stumbles, stutters, pauses, and garbles his words so badly that he is difficult to understand. Besides that, he has no sense of the cadence of his speech at all. Needs to see that speech instructor in "The King's Speech."

He's pretty toxic in popularity right now for the party, are they going to do a Bush/Cheney and keep him from appearing at the convention in Tampa? You hear anything?

Your description could describe why he's not speaking, but they could still give him an early, daytime slot that won't get much coverage, if he's that bad.

You just described ole G Dumya Bush and he was ELECTED president...so that makes Scott a lock for VP..

No chance; he's riding a trough of unpopularity right now and looks like a one-termer. Lots of voter's remorse among his backers down here. There's talk about old Charlie Crist running as a Dem next go-around.

Gosh, I don't understand - a state full of Medicare and Social Security recipients electing the CEO responsible for the largest Medicare fraud in history? Who wants to remove all government assistance from citizens? What could go wrong?

I believe that about Crist! Good tip.
