you started out with the v.p. stakes, who is going to be the one mitt romney looks out at and says gee, i need help with latino voters and women. >> given his character he's going to get his power point out and run numbers and do something safe, like rob portland to get ohio perhaps and maybe paul ryan's on the list. he seems a little young to me and new to the scene. marco rubio is another. >> neither of those is going to help with women. >> i agree. this is a problem the party has is who are the women on the national stage of the republican party? mccain had this problem. they decided they wanted a woman, it was a short list, particularly if you have to get someone who is not pro choice. >> craig, quick answer here. >> i'd go for olympia snow. >> i've got an even crazier one. maybe you think sarah palin coming back. she's been tested. how crazy is that? >> or mike huckabee. i'll top you another crazy one. >> all right. craig crawford, politics blogger on craigcrawford.com many thanks. this story keeps on going.

on the other hand it's possible that romney's v.p.uld be neither a woman or hispanic, a political piece entitled vice president vanilla, suggests that it might be a safe, uncontroversial one, someone like ohio republican ron portman who is described in the article as vanilla, wonky and unflappable and the, quote, safety school the gop needs after the sarah palin experiment in 2008. here's the question. which v.p. candidate would benefit mitt romney more? a woman or a hispanic? go to cnn.com/cafferty file and post a comment on my blog or go to my post on the situation room's facebook page. >> i think rob portman has a very, very good shot of getting that. >> lindsay graham's another name that you hear ticked around. >> you hear jeb bush, former governor of florida who speaks spanish, a very popular guy as well and is the country ready for another bush. these are questions only romney can answer right now. good question. thank you. >>> moments for terror from passengers aboard a jetblue flight. lisa sylvester has the details for us. lis

last year, mitt romney said he had roughly 15 v.p. candidates in mine.nd the new hampshire senator was one of them. last week, mitt romney campaigned in pennsylvania with another rising star, the florida senator, marco rubio. what more do we know of this senator ayotte? >>reporter: an experienced lawyer, the attorney general of new hampshire and took a case against planned parenthood to the supreme court. one of the keys for romney as a senator from a native of the first primary in the nation she endorsed romney ahead of the primary in new hampshire and that goes a long way. >>shepard: i'd say. what are the odds, then, at this point from those who qualify quantify such things, that mitt romney could pick her? >>guest: well as you noted he is openly acknowledged she is on the list, and she could offer an unwaivering conservative record on things like abortion, gun rights, gay marriage, and the health care law and bring a dierent dimension to the ticket as a woman and as a mother. she had the endorsement of sarah palin calling her a mama grizzly but the de

v.p. will be a very important choice. you near love with chris christie, i don't know if you gave him the, quote, obama breathalyzer back. i like rubio of florida because i think he's a natural leader, he is funny, smart, inspiring. but i keep hearing the establishment pushing rob portman. nice guy. boring. you know? i like bob mcdonald a lot, he did a great job. i don't want them to make a bad decision here. >> i am pretty confident eye am always wrong in choosing vice-presidents, so i have no insight, except that i think that romney will make a good decision if -- if -- if i were advising him, i would say stay away from the untested young ones. i would take another one in addition to marco rubio, ken ciewch nellie -- cuccinelli. i think both of them are maybe a little too young. i think they should run for governor and then run for president some day. >> sean: look, if obama can be president, they can be vice-president. >> yes, but we are republicans. we take the presidency-- >>> i'm a registered conservative. >> so you

now, often the v.p. slot is filled by a strong former candidate and they don't come any stronger or more former than rick santorum. (laughter) not only is he socially conservative but he's recently proven that he meant everything he said during the campaign. >> rick santorum, mincing no words about what he thinks of mitt romney. in a letter to iowa voters this week, santorum says "it truly fright frightens me to think what will happen if mitt romney is the nominee." >> stephen: okay, that sounds rough. (laughter) but clearly rick is just proving his pro-family credentials by rejecting any partnership with another man.
