i would look at a longer shot, suzanne that m suzanna martinez, the governor of new mexico. >> so you'rehinking he's in the running, rubbio? >> yes. at this stage i think he is. you have a question, first of all, delivering florida is a huge state. >> sure. if you had to order it right now, who do you think are the best picks for him if you were picking? >> almost anybody you just mentioned. i would look at mitch daniels and three or four other people. they have to decide a couple things. first of all, the person has to be philosophically -- capable of being president. sec, they have to be philosophically compatible which means a broadly conservative person. >> thune. >> i think john thune is extraordinarily attractive. >> i think so, too. >> articulate. you know. >> last question, animals. you and i in a different way, maybe, share a tremendous interest in animals. i think you're the only presidential candidate ever to basically go zoo to zoo. what is that about you? and you've made kmints over the years about how men and women in combat -- women in combat are a problem because men want

but i don't think suzanna martinez would have actually been the pick because she sort of ruled it outgoing to be me, but she is a guardian of a disabled sister and so she couldn't move. i think she felt free to speak about immigration issues. she said self-support, she said what does that even mean. she wanted to appeal to latinos that -- of course that's the biggest problem, you can't sell it in a republican primary. >> real quickly, new jersey, not a swing state, but i got a big chance to talk about chris christie. >> chris christie as got that great new ad out with the video with cory booker. he is somebody who's breaking maybe the first rule of vice president speculation. >> also making news this morning, franciscan university will no longer offer health insurance plans to students. all that comes after catholic bishops say they will sue -- birth control to women without a co-pay. >>> jpmorgan chase now facing a justice department investigation. ceo jamey dimon survived that shareholder vote yet to keep his job and to keep a $23 million pay package. >>> arizona wildfires have been

. >> also elected a hispanic republican governor in 2000, suzanna martinez.f the real states up for grabs. finally probably the big kahuna, florida. florida, florida, florida. the infamous ultimate swing state. 2010, they elected senator marco rubio. the hispanic population, very diverse. mexican american. but this again so key to winning this ultimate swing state. >> ruben, interesting as john points out, they went overwhelming for barack obama last time, but since then elected lots of republicans in the states is the enthusiasm in the latino population there for president obama this time around? >> no, it is not. there's no question about it. you have a deep ambivalence in the hispanic community. they're not enthusiastic about voting for mitt romney that's a long shot. they don't like romney, but they don't trust or believe in obama. it's not just him breaking the promise to fix the immigration system, but the fact that he deported over 1.2 million people, breaking up hundreds of thousands of families in the process. latinos are very clear on one thing. bre

you have rob portman, you have bobby jindal, suzanna martinez-- go down the list and you'll find an enormous depth of talent in the republican party that wasn't there 12 years ago. >> schieffer: you didn't mention newt gingrich. >> you have known me a long time. would you pick me to be presidential vice president nominee. it would be inconceivable. >> schieffer: mr. speak ethank you for coming on and answering the questions when we posed them i want to turn now to congresswoman michele bachmann. a lot of talk about mitt romney is not reaching women in this campaign, miss bachmann. you've endorsed him. what does he need to do? what does he need to say to women? well, first of all, they a myth and it's not true because obama's-- >> schieffer: what's a myth? >> the myth is there is a republican war on women. there's not a republican war on women. that's coming from the obama reelection team because everything they do right now is-- any word that you hear will go through the grid of obama's reelection. >> schieffer: well it must be working because most of the polls show he's running way behind w

he swept the southwest in 2008, and in 2010, this is another example where you can look at suzanna martinez, a republican able to win the governor's race there. there had been a democratic governor, bill richardson before and a congressional seat flipped. you really see a trend and that's why the republicans are trying to target there. the democrats are feeling pretty confident. then pennsylvania, a working class stated state, where you have a lot of voters -- susan and i talked about this-- the working class voter that has not warmed up to president obama, that the romney campaign thinks they can target. in 2010, you saw the republican, tom corbett, win the race by nine points and several congressional seats flip plus the senate race. so you've had several big exphngz that's what they're trying to capitalize on. >> ifill: not only are two of the three people you mentioned on the vice presidential list but it's also a map to the electoral college. >> absolutely. if you start with the base 2008 map that president obama won, and then you just look at these states that we've talked about-- vir

you look at cruz, rubio, suzanna martinez from new mexico, senator sandoval from nevada. suddenly you have a team of conservative hispanic leaders speaking in tampa, being the faces and voices of the republican party. it's no small thing. >> two months until that runoff. mike allen with a look at the playbook. thanks so much. >> willie inc. buy it. >> he said it, i didn't. >> i'm shorting it. >> you're a wise man. >>> a huge upset at the french open. serena williams bounced by the 111th ranked player in the world. keep it on "morning joe."

you look at somebody like governor suzanna martinez on the border in new mexico.y clear sense as a latina that she can deal with these issues, she can talk to her community. she can campaign among them and she can explain it. i think you're going to find a real effort on our part there. but remember, if you go and talk to the average latino american, they are going to try to talk number one about jobs, two about education, three about health, and four about the price of gasoline. and they know -- and certainly will be reminded all summer and fall by republicans -- that barack obama broke his word. he said he would solve the immigration problem. he had two full years with a democratic house, a democratic senate. he accomplished nothing. and he is in no position to go out and say that he is the friend of latino americans. he has hurt them on unemployment. he has hurt them on the price of gasoline. he has hurt them on his failure to reform education. and he has hurt them on his failure to be serious and honest about the complexity of immigration reform. i think we'll
