the best picks. chris christie is still in consideration and i am for him, and rubio, and christie, and ryan. any of those three would be exciting picks who would signify that governor romney will run a big campaign, presenting a fundamental choice. in terms of timing i found out more since we last talked. if you look at governor romney's schedule he has events in illinois on tuesday, iowa on wednesday, a fundraising breakfast on thursday in norm. the calendar then is clear, thursday afternoon and friday, and he begins barn storming toward saturday in virginia and north carolina on sunday, and florida on monday and ohio on tuesday, it would be weird to do this four-day tour through four swing states, big bus tour and a last excitement without having picked the v.p. and with that hanging over him and dwarfing whatever the emergency he wants to get out. i believe the pick is made thursday afternoon or friday.
