« Cuidado! Zombie ballot-brokers stalk the land | Main | Why Paul Ryan could be a drag in Florida (which Marco Rubio helps Romney win) »

Mitt Romney announces VP pick Saturday in Virginia. Rubio or Ryan?

Mitt Romney is going to announce his vice presidential pick tomorrow. The short list is long (and unknown, really, to many of us), but allies of Sen. Marco Rubio think it's down to the Florida Senator and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan.

Of course, it could be neither of them.

There's Tim Pawlenty (boring), and Ohio Sen. Rob Portman (boring, with a dash of Bush-era budgeting to go with it). Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is a wild card, but way more exciting. New Jersy Gov. Chris Christie, a favorite of the Northeast/Beltway press, brings a fun combativeness to the ticket.

The press release:

 Boston, MA – On Saturday, Mitt Romney will begin his “The Romney Plan For A Stronger Middle Class” bus tour by announcing his choice for Vice Presidential candidate in Norfolk, Virginia. The following events are open to the press. Please note that the tour of the USS Wisconsin and Homemades by Suzanne drop by are pool coverage.
