National Journal’s Major Garrett says forget Nikki Haley, Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio. Ohio Sen. Rob Portman is the best candidate to be Mitt Romney’s running mate for five key reasons:
1. Romney likes and respects Portman
2. Portman wants the job.
3. Portman is vetted
4. Portman is ready for the job
5. Portman is to Romney what Al Gore was to Bill Clinton
“I could be wrong,” Garrett writes. “But I doubt it.”

Apr. 6, 2012 at 5:49pmI think that Romney need to take a very hard look at Bobby Jindal. Jindal’s resume is extremely impressive — Rhodes Scholar and an incredible amount of experience at both the national & state levels.
Jindal would plug all the holes that Romney has with the conservative base — southern, a social conservative who is a religious Catholic but also popular with evangelical voters. Think Rick Santorum without the self-righteousness. Jindal is also a very, very intelligent guy and a policy wonk who would debate circles around Joe Biden — think Gingrich without the baggage and abrasiveness.
Additionally, Jindal backed Rick Perry in the primary. Picking Jindal would be seen as a strong jesture to unite the GOP and demonstrate that Romney is not going to play petty politics moving forward.
A Romney-Jindal ticket would put together two very competent men with executive and private sector experience. Both have a track record of “fixing things”. In Jindal’s case his work under Governor Mike Foster fixing the state’s health system, and as governor himself turning around the Louisiana economy after Katrina, raising the state’s credit rating and his success managing disaster situations — Hurricane Gustav and the Gulf oil spill.
Like Marco Rubio. Jindal is a young man with a compelling story. He is only three years older than Rubio, but is far more experienced in government. He would also add a little ethnic flair to the ticket –not just another run of the mill wh
