Piyush Jindal is now the front runner.
It's not an election. There is no frontrunner.

Why would Romney choose a Minnesota lightweight?
Sorry. bad choice.
The gutless rag known as The New York Slimes won't come right out and say it. But apparently they are doing their level best to suggest that the decision -- supposedly now reached by the Republican presidential nominee to be -- on who Mitt will be naming as his running mate is as good as done. They won't commit to it, but they like to subtly lay it between the lines.
They seem to believe it's Pawlenty.

you seem to have a spelling error... that would be "times". just saying. slimes would be the washtimes rag.
as for pawlenty. he'd be a good choice. but i don't see willard picking someone as VP who is a superior candidate to him in every way possible.
but i guess you never know.

It's a horrible choice, if Pawlenty is his choice. I'll wait to see. Rubio is the only one who really helps Romney, but I think he's too chicken shit to put someone on the ticket who will outshine him. With Rubio on the ticket, cons would really be wishing the ticket was reversed. Romney knows this, so he probably won't pick Rubio even though Rubio gives him the best chance to win. Rubio gives him a real good shot at carrying Florida and he energizes the conservative base nationally.
So what does Pawlenty do? Maybe, maybe he helps Romney win Minnesota's ten electoral votes. As for energizing the base, Pawlenty makes the base puke. Pawlenty is Romney with less money. Anyway, that's my point of view, and I am supporting Obama. As an Obama supporter, the person I least want to see is Rubio. That doesn't mean Rubio guarantees Romney victory, but I believe Rubio does give him his best chance.
Best option for what? To win an election, or to pick someone who is qualified to lead the country, if?It's a VP horse race.It's not an election. There is no frontrunner.
What race? Mitt's going to make a choice based on what he thinks is his best option. There isnt a race. It's just Mitt's choice.

Sometimes they are not the same. See: McCain/Palin, GHW Bush/Quayle
Sometimes they are. See: Obama/Biden, Bush/Cheney
Bishop Romney doesn't have good options. Piyush and Portman are not, T-Paw perhaps is, McDonnell is a joke.

Explain this. T-Paw is admittedly boring, but how is he a lightweight? He is a very Conservative Governor in a blue state, he is a social conservative, and has no negatives that will come back to haunt the team.Why would Romney choose a Minnesota lightweight?

I thought this was an interesting piece, in which the writer essentially "scored" the veep candidates on their value as a running mate.
Interesting how low Condi and Jindal are, and that Ayotte is tied with Rubio for #2.
Given the shit storm Romney's dealing with right now, I'd think Pawlenty would want to hang around and keep his suits pressed in case the Mittster somehow gets pushed out.

Portman was Bush's OMB - read: budget - director.Best option for what? To win an election, or to pick someone who is qualified to lead the country, if?What race? Mitt's going to make a choice based on what he thinks is his best option. There isnt a race. It's just Mitt's choice.

I think Portman would be fine. So woudl Pawlenty.
Jindal, yeah, he brings a whole level of religious crazy.
"Magic Underpants/Exorcist 2012! - Because what this country needs is more religious craziness!"
You should print T-Shirts with that dead agent's face on them and sell them to teabaggers. You'll make a fortune exploiting his death!Mitt is going with "Obama Lies" as his running mate
Good choice, if true.I would have gone with Susana Martinez.
