What do conservatives think of Romney’s international gaffes? Will Rob Portman be the veep pick?

Romney’s main problem is finding a Republican who can help his campaign without being more charismatic than Romney.

Okay, obviously the gun is being jumped by calling Romney as the GOP winner before the New Hampshire primaries, the Iowa Caucuses, and the last bevy of debates. We’ve seen Bachmann, Perry, and now Cain all take meteoric and undeserved rises in the polls, followed by inevitable collapses thanks to the easy-to-impress but attention-deficit affected Tea Party primary voters.
