And most importantly, he gives the GOP a shot at the Hispanic vote, which is invaluable. If Rubio convinces Hispanics to lean to the GOP, watch how fast liberals change their tune on immigration.

I'm personally not a huge Romney fan. But a Romney-Rubio ticket will have the best shot at defeating Obama.
I think Christie will be the VP pick, he has been out pushing for Romney

Christie is a darling of the GOP, due to his willingness to stand up to public labor unions. However, he is very liberal on some social issues, not sure if that turns off the power brokers of the party. And NJ doesn't carry as many electoral votes as FL. I agree Christie is likely on the short list.

I wish, but knowing him as being Governor he's not the type of man that wants
to be second in command.
He takes no prisoners, says what he means and
means what he says but has a knack for negotiation.

I like when he went ballistic over that woman who called in and challenged him on cutting education when he sends his kids to private school...real leadership there

And now Santorum thinks Obama is a "snob" because he wants our kids to go to college.

Christie prolly said, "This is America Mam, we still have Freedom of Choice
and I choose to send my children to parochial school for their education."

Tell me what that has to do with Leadership when OBAMA, Leader of our country,
chooses to send his children to private school rather than a public school in Washington ??
The Commander in Chief sets the example, right??

Sounds like you did till I mentioned the Pres.

If your talking about the CNN interview, I saw it live and what you saw
is what you get.
If you don't like direct answers and telling it like it is,
I can understand why you would make a personal attack.
