He's still doomed, and not one sane person will be voting for him.

Rand Paul.
Marco Rubio.
Chris Christie.
Michele Bachmann.
Newt Gingrich.
Rick Santorum.

Doomed. They are all doomed.

It does not matter who he picks - it'll piss off half of the Republicans anyway.

In this scenario. The lesser of the two evils will be chosen.

Rand Paul loses him more votes than he brings in, and the votes he brings in are in states Romney's already going to win. He needs a swing-state veep who won't immediately piss off either the base or moderates. Assuming Rubio really will turn it down, I think McDonnell, Porter, and Ryan are still the best bets, with Ayotte as a dark horse.
