He will bring the Tea Party to Romney's camp- but where else would they go otherwise, unless Paul decided to run off the Republican ticket. Unless people want to close their eyes, there is also some serious dirt on him here in Florida concerning personal use of the Florida Republican Party's credit card and where he got the money to pay it all back after being exposed. VP candidacy would stir the pott on this big-time and we might not like what we will learn.
Rubio has said time and again...hell even I've said it here before too!...that he won't consider the VP slot...he said he was elected to do a job and he's going to do it.
As for the rest of your "rumors", get it straight. The issue is from 2007-08. 16k on an American Express card that he has since repaid. The "stickler" was an auto repair that the GOP paid for because an attendent at a GOP function damaged the van...whooo, that's real serious dirt there.
Get real.
As for the poll...why don't they select a candidate BEFORE they select the running-mate
