27. Portman is the "do no harm" candidate.

The man is as forgettable as last Monday's lunch.

I'm from Ohio, I follow politics here like a religion, and I still can't tell you anything distinctive about the man at all. He blends into the wallpaper like a pin striped shirt. He'll make Romney look fresh and exciting while offering up his own background bland as a vanilla shake.

Nobody hates vanilla shakes though.

Oh Portman will be controversial. He was a lobbyist for Dictators. progressivebydesign Aug 2012 #21

the only thing about Ryan is, is that he is so young. Robme has repeatedly talked about Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2012 #12
Ryan would certainly be an ROI for the Koch Brothers and tea party investors in Robme. progressivebydesign Aug 2012 #22
Other: it will be someone that won't shadow his massive narcissistic ego. nt Javaman Aug 2012 #8
well, isn't Christie the only one who could do that, no pun intended? Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2012 #13
Pawlenty. He's about as exciting as watching paint dry. nt Javaman Aug 2012 #15
I was just thinking...since he is so egotistical, he probably doesn't think anyone could overshadow Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2012 #16
