She said yesterday, “We are certainly talking a lot. This last week, this last weekend, there was a lot of discussion. We're not quite there yet. And we're going to be there soon.”
AYOTTE: “Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is closing out a week of active campaigning with another battleground state visit today, appearing at a New Hampshire specialty lumber supplier with prospective running mate Kelly Ayotte,” the Boston Globe writes, adding, “While Ayotte’s announced appearance with Romney would eliminate an element of surprise were he to reveal today that she is his choice for running mate, campaign aides have also described possible decoys or ruses to conceal his pick until the final moment.”
PAWLENTY: He’ll be at an ice cream social in New Hampshire Aug. 11.
PORTMAN: “There's little question that the Republican presidential nominee and Ohio senator have a lot in common,” USA Today writes. “But whether a Romney-Portman ticket would double-down on the stiff, rich, aloof image Romney that is already battling — or the smart, clean, competent message he's trying to project — remains uncertain. What is clear: Portman has emerged as a front-runner in the vice presidential sweepstakes — and part of the reason for that is he has established an easy, dynamic relationship with the former Massachusetts governor.”
Check this out: “At the height of campaign season, and while under extra scrutiny as a potential vice presidential pick, Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) is on a quixotic bid to reform how the miscellaneous tariff bill is crafted,” Roll Call reports. “In the process, he’s going against the Republican Ways and Means Committee chairman — a close friend, as it happens — while giving bipartisan cover to a vulnerable Democratic Senator.”
RICE: “Some GOP voters say Condoleezza Rice is a game changer,” the New York Daily News writes. “Three in 10 Republicans rank the former U.S. secretary of state as their top choice to be Mitt Romney's running mate - far outpacing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (19 percent), New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (8 percent) and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan (8 percent), according to a Fox News Poll released Wednesday.”

Pawlenty's a socialist? Does Mitt know?
Mitt too is a socialist, supporting welfare for the rich forever. Does Mitt know?
Romney/Pawlenty – Two Epic Fail Governors 4 U!
But the real question is, how many years of tax returns do VP candidates need to give Romney? We'll learn soon enough of the hypocrisy!
That's right, Willard doesn't make a move without Ann telling him how. Ann has confirmed what I thought all along. Willard's a wimp. When Ann says "we are talking a lot" "we're not quite there yet" "we're going to be there soon". Who do you think is running this campaign? I almost forgot, "you people have got all your going to get from us", quoting Ann.
I'm amazed that Condolezza Rice is still being considered as a VP choice for Romney. I'm surprised she was considered in the first place. Do the Repubs really want to nominate someone who has never been elected to public office to be the next in line for the Presidency? Is Rice really interested in holding political office? If so, she should run for Congress before aspiring to the executive office.
Anyone for Michelle Bachman? The pair would be perfect together - lying and lunacy are what we need.
