Subscribe to RSSAYOTTE: The Boston Herald interviewed New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte: “In a sneak peek at a potential fall showdown, New Hampshire U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte said tangling with Vice President Joe Biden on a debate stage ‘would be quite enjoyable’ and poked fun at Biden’s foot-in-mouth malady. ‘The vice president does have a way with words,’” she said. Of being veep, she said: “It’s certainly an honor to be mentioned for consideration as vice president, but serving New Hampshire in the Senate is the greatest honor I could ask for.”
And: “I think Gov. Romney is going to pick who he thinks is best and he will do that not worried about the gender of the person or what their particular background is, except for when it comes to qualifications,” she said. “I think that anyone who is nominated to serve as vice president will expect there will be tremendous media scrutiny on them.”
JINDAL: Awwwkward: GOP 12: “On The Daily Rundown, Chuck Todd asks Bobby Jindal if he'd be Mitt Romney's running mate. Jindal runs through some talking points; then Todd notes ‘Governor, that's not a denial. You know that, right?’ Bobby then smiles (see screencap above) and does nothing else, making this the most uncomfortable pause since Jim Irsay asked Peyton Manning if he wanted to be Andrew Luck's backup.”
PORTMAN: Why did John McCain want to punch Rob Portman in the face?
RUBIO: “Sen. Marco Rubio on Wednesday blamed Washington’s inability to produce a comprehensive immigration policy on Democrats who prefer that the issue remain unresolved so they can continue to leverage it to win the Hispanic vote,” Politico writes. Rubio said on FOX: “I think there are some people in the Democratic Party that think that the immigration issue’s more valuable to them unsolved, that it gives them something to talk about, that they can go back to Hispanic communities and make unrealistic promises every two years and win votes.”
It’s worth pointing out, however, that Democrats were just a few votes short of passing the DREAM Act, which was blocked by Republicans.

What the heck was Todd expecting? "Awkward pause"? Awkward for Todd, it seems- not for Jindal.
Jindal is just awkward in everything he does. Jindal for VP.
JINDAL for Romney choice of VP? Might as well select Sarah Palin again.
She is still more qualified to be president then the current sitting President. And she is smarter so what does that say about your favorite idiot in chief?
That post rukidding just shows you never made it out of kindergarten. How smart can you be if you can't even explain what news papers you read.
Explain? Hell, she couldn't "name" them! The article (esp Rubio's comments) and these comments, show that indeed you can fool a butt load of the people most of the time.
Jindal for VP is a great idea. He can appoint his buddy Cowboy Ricky as his Chief of Staff and we would be rid of him for a while.
rukidding, your right, Sarah Palin Is more qualified to be president than Mit Romney.
Palin Jindal 2012 lol
@kidding47
Exactly, what signs of intelligent life have you seen in Palin? Do tell us!
She didn't vote for Obama. . .
@ no joe who says: She didn't vote for Obama. . .
How do you know that?
but..again.......Exactly, what signs of intelligent life have you seen in Palin?
Because no joe knows she's not smart enough to have voted for President Obama chilled.
You're right Mo.......
Romney must choose a running mate who is fully prepared to step into the Oval Office and tell him what to do.

If your premise is correct, the VP nod should go to Grover Norquist. He would be instructing Mitt the Barber from day one anyway. His criteria as you recall is that the POTUS only needs to sign the legislation he endorses and follow his instructions.
Romney wants another Dick Cheney as VP. You know someone who has a 9% approval.
wouldn't it be a hoot if he chose Dick Cheney?
Dick would chose himself for VP, just like he did for Dubya!
That dinner/fundraiser, that Dick is hosting, may hold the key.
I swear everyday a Rep or some other old rich fart is in front of a camera or on a conference call spouting a bold face lie--see Rubio and his DreamAct bit knowing full well it was blocked by the Reps when Dems tried to pass it. Also see Romney's Day 1 garbage being played every hour in my state. And don't get me started on Rove, Koch, and the teaparty idiots. WTF!?! Cmon people. This sh!t must stop.
When your only platform is to lie and hope the voters aren't smart enough to see through the lies, their not going to stop, they have nothing else just lies. the tea people Koch republicans could be sold ocean front property in the AZ desert.
