Rubio is too vivid; he would upstage Romney.
I guess Rubio saying he would sneak into the U.S. if he had to from Latin America and his association now with Romney's campaign is how Romney is replying to Obama saying he won't deport illegal immigrants.
Here's hoping...

Rubio was elected to the Senate in 2010 and is already being considered a possible VP?
I hope Rubio brings his Green card and his birth certificate (his real one).
I disagree. Rubio will fall in line. It is Chris Christie, another potential VP candidate, who would upstage Romney.

You are shocked by Rubio being elected to the senate in 2010 and being a VP candidate for 2012?
Honestly Gabby, did you even bother with the math on this one?
I think Romney needs a true conservative as VP. There are too many questions regarding his own stands over time. I could go with Jindal, Ryan as my first choices. Rubio on illegal immigration is a problem in my book. For that matter so was GW, which so many liberals forget. Christie is more liberal than many realize.

I don't know what the calculus is behind Rubio. Romney is not going to get the Hispanic vote with Rubio. Obama already clinched that one with the work permit give away.
I think part of releasing the information that Rubio is a VP candidate is vetting in and of itself. Let the media see if they can find anything on him and move on from there unlike McCain who announced Palin out of no where and suffered for it later.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Interesting post! Good point that if there is anything to find against Rubio, the press (or enemy leakers) WILL find it. And that this may be a calculated defense against the situation with Palin. And a good one.
And in any case, he's only vetting ---- he can get creds with the Hispanics by talking about it, and then later choose someone more boring that Romney is himself later: which I think would be safer. Just my opinion, though.
Yeah.........you are perhaps saying Christie is vivid in an aggressive way.
I think there is another problem with Christie: the whole Romney campaign would suddenly become about Christie's morbid obesity. Which is these days very unfashionable.
It is easy to derail a candidacy -- the Palin one quickly became about her low IQ and poor education and a number of other failings she had (talk about poor vetting!!). Christie's weight is just too easy. Christie may well run for prez, but he has to lose weight and mature as a politician. He is a very interesting person and I like him, but I agree he would be a bad fit for mild, somewhat robotic Romney. He would suck all the air out of the campaign and breathe it himself.
Yep, walked right into that one.
