15. I'm Telling You, It's Gonna Be Portman

The sole reason? Rmoney will think he can win Ohio if he gives Ohio voters one of their own. You know, kinda like how John McCain thought he could steal away disgruntled Hillary voters by simply giving them someone with the same set of genitalia. This is how deeply Republicans think.

Nevermind that Portman is dull as dishwater AND is the architect of Bushonomics (you know, kinda the WHOLE REASON why the economy has been in the tank for a DECADE).

Although now that Mitt is in full tailspin mode, he might have to do something a tad more dramatic than pick this wet blanket.
