ryan to try to get the badger state. he doesn't want someone to overpower the ticket, so i think portman still has to be at the top of your list. >> larryou're an investor, you're supposed to buy low and sell high, so i'm looking at the cheap stocks, thune 2.1, kelly ayotte, mcdonnell, 2.9, there's an interesting one, connedi rice. would you invest down there at those candidates? >> well, maybe jindal. on my crystal ball sight, jindal is in the top four, though i'm with bob, rob portman is the best pick, and vanilla is in, i don't care what your stocks say, vanilla is in. that's the flavor to buy this year. >> actually that's what the intrade is saying, portman's chances of victory are the absolute best. he's all the way up to 27%, so that supports your view. bob costa, do you agree with larry sabato, does he meet your characteristics? >> he does. >> portman meets them, but i sat down with john thune in washington. he brings everything portman brings to the table, but doesn't have the george w. bush connection. portman was bush's budget director. thune is close with mitch mcconnell, so brings you everything that romney wants, the beltwa
