Romney's VP choice could be critical. If he selects some Neocon Scumbag or Conservative Caveman, it will diminish his moderate credentials as he pushes Obama to the left to capture the center. The right-wing, with their goofy and radical notions, are still pretty scary to most Americans. Rubio is about the last candidate Romney should consider.

This surprises me if it is true. 

Marco Rubio Not Being Vetted to Be Mitt Romney's Running Mate

By Jonathan Karl | ABC OTUS News – June 19, 2012

Even before the Republicans chose a presidential nominee it was widely assumed that Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., would be at the top of anybody's list of vice presidential candidates. The reasons are obvious: Not only is he young, charismatic and wildly popular with conservatives, but he could also help Republicans win a key state (Florida) and make inroads with Hispanics.

But knowledgeable Republican sources tell me that Rubio is not being vetted by Mitt Romney's vice presidential search team. He has not been asked to complete any questionnaires or been asked to turn over any financial documents typically required of potential vice presidential candidates.

.
Whether or not he is on Romney's short list, Rubio has already been an asset to the Romney campaign. In virtually every interview he has done recently, Rubio has praised Romney and defended him on issues ranging from taxes to immigration. And on Tuesday night, Rubio plans to take part in a fundraiser for Restore Our Future, the Super PAC supporting Romney.
