He will be in New Hampshire on Saturday to attend a fund-raiser, said Tommy Schultz, a Romney spokesman.”
Two other possible veeps -- Tim Pawlenty and Bobby Jindal -- will be following the Obama bus – attacking and rapid responding.
“One of the richest Members of Congress is on the short list to be Mitt Romney’s running mate,” Roll Call writes. “So is one of the poorest. Of the four lawmakers the presumptive GOP presidential nominee is said to be considering, Sen. Rob Portman is by far the wealthiest, recently filed personal financial disclosure forms show… On the other hand, Sen. Marco Rubio, a vice presidential hopeful, is likely among the least wealthy Members of the Senate with a net worth of negative $400,000.”
CNBC’s Joe Kernan endorsed Chris Christie for veep.

Why is there so much fuss about the Vice Presidency?
Once they get in office they do not really do anything except say things the President doesn't have the guts to say themselves. Supposedly people will vote for them because they live near them, but after they are elected... nothing. Name the Vice Presidents? Can you ?
Who the VP is will not change the President's policies. So, learn what the main candidate's views are not just the negative ads they produce.
Lyndon Johnson was JFK's Vice President, before he became President following JFK's assasination.
uncle bill Deadeye dick cheny was vice-president but he looked more like the president than bush.
uncle bill can you name the vice-presidents?
So Bobby Jindal will be following the Obama bus? What will he do, perform an exorcism and build sand castles for the kids? It's funny how the Republicans want to throw the country under the bus.
The net worth of a Romney running mate is their ability to run the office of the president for the candidate, or at least to tell him what to do.
