Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says he doesn't want to be VP

Marco Rubio told Major Garrett at the National Journal that he wasn't interested in being asked by Romney to be his running mate.

He did have a suggestion, though, which is that Romney consider Ohio Senator Rob Portman.

A lot of smart money is on Portman, as it should also be on former Minnesota Congressman Tim Pawlenty.

Romney isn't going to take any chances with his own game changer. The GOP will hope it can tough it out with a steady and boring team combined with voters continuing concerns about a weak economy.
