WOW! Portman! WOW! Pawlenty! WOW! Jindal! WOW! It's Romney's "3 big hitters for VP pick." (Reuters)

[Amerigo Vespucci]

PLEASE pick Jindal. He's the closest of the three to Sarah Palin and most likely to fuck up in front of TV cameras. PLEASE, Mitt!

Romney eyes 3 big hitters for VP pick (2:25)

Romney’s final choice for his running mate may come down to three marquee names - Ohio Senator Rob Portman, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty – each brings a high slugging average, but strikes against them as well. (July 27, 2012)

1. "Marquee Names" where? On the marquee of the Orpheus Theater in Auburn, Nebraska?

Admittedly, part of me would love to see Kenneth the Page as VP candidate - just so we could enjoy some cool volcanic eruptions.

14. Nah, somebody graffiti'd them on the wall of Hoskovec's barn in Sni Mills....

That thar's BIG-time publissity....

[mazzarro]

2. Jindal will do fine with me

That "deer caught in headlight" look of his will carry well on tv - if I might venture to say so!

[2pooped2pop]

3. I'm betting Portman

as a chance to sway Ohio. Jindal is too easy. What religion is Pawlenty?

4. I don't think it'll be ..

Jindal.

"A Mormon? Well, maybe; but a Mormon and a {derogatory term for dark-skinned} Indian? Hell, no!"

{Actual comment heard in a bowling alley, shortly after Jindal's name first surfaced as a romney consideration.}

5. -yawn.-

Wake me up when he announces Pawlenty as his running mate, which will be right before the GOP convention.

All this jibber-jabber is just to distract from Romney's screw-ups.

But then, this whole "look at me, I'm deciding!!" bullcrap makes me think that LeBron James is Romney's campaign manager...

[n2doc]

6. Not Lebron, Dwight Howard!

Mittens is flipping and flopping like a fish out of water.

[The_Counsel]

12. Naw ... It's Pretty Much LeBron...

LeBron knew he was taking his talents to South Beach a year before he announced it. The whole "decision" bit was to keep all the other suitors guessing.

Dwight Howard is just bat-shit crazy. End of story.

Romney's pretty much known who his finalists are for months ... it's just simply not in his best interests to announce his choice until right before the convention. Any announcements/leaks/whatever now are just to keep the media talking about him a positive light and NOT focusing on his gaffe(s).

Although a case can also be made that Romney's just bat-shit crazy also...

7. The Mormon and the Exorcist would be awesome.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. "high slugging average"?

Those 3?

[Arkana]

9. So his choices are Wynken, Blynken, and Kenneth the Page?

Please let him go with Jindal. I want that SOTU response on replay for weeks.

"Americans can do anything." Jesus. It was like half Mr. Rogers, half creepy rapist.

[Ruby the Liberal]

10. However will he choose from this exciting slate?

[KurtNYC]

11. Who gets to ride shotgun on the train to Loserville ?

[hifiguy]

13. Dull, Duller and Dullest.

Doesn't matter which one is which. They're interchangeable dolts.

These three fools are "big hitters"?? It is to laugh.
