Romney needs somebody who won't steal the spotlight from him, and Christie, Jindal, and Rubio are all out based on that criterion. Even Pawlenty is more interesting than Mittens, but Portman is a total unknown in this country, and would make Mitt look like the interesting one of the pair.

Ohio is probably tougher for the GOP to win than Florida, and it's of vital importance to them.
