Romney: Senator Marco Rubio

Mitt Romney Dept: Rubio, a rising star in the Republican Party and one of the nation's leading Hispanic politicians, declined to repeat his previous statement that he would turn down any offer to become the party's vice-presidential nominee this year, according to Montreal Gazette. "The last thing he needs are those of us in the peanut gallery to be saying what we would or would not do," said Rubio, who is due to campaign with Romney on Monday in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania and u.S. Senator Marco Rubio, preparing to hit the campaign trail with presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, touted former Florida governor Jeb Bush on Sunday as a "fantastic" choice as Romney's running mate, but remained coy about whether he himself would accept such an offer. "Our nominee, Mitt Romney, the leader of the Republican Party, has a vice-presidential selection process in place," Rubio said on CNN's State of the Union program. "And I think from this point moving forward, I think it'd be wise for all Republicans to kind of respect that process, myself included, and say moving forward, we're going to let his process play itself out.
