>> it's not going to be another sarah palin. most people think that romney will go with a safe pick. everybody also fights the last war in politics. so that would argue for a rob portman or tim pawlenty, bob mcconnell, the governor of virginia, somebody safe like that. there could be something unusual that happens. you could get maybe bobby jindal who's got some experience now that he's been governor of louisiana for a while, trying to go for an out of the box choice, who also would pass that test of getting over the threshold of being a plausible president, which palin's two years as governor...

>> it make its awfully hard. we have to give the romney campaign credit. they knew they were going to get this kind of attack between the time they clinched the nomination and the convention. that's the weakest time for a challenging nominee. they have held their fire and let the president raise his own negatives. the president has spent all that money raising his own negatives. there are people out there that still think this man is smart. how you can think he is smart when he is spending that kind of money to raise his own negatives. >> sean: do you have any thoughts on who governor romney s...

Is it condoleeza race? >> i don't know if she's on that list. i think the people who have the buzz right now are actually people that don't have a lot of buzz around them, portman and tim pawlenty. those aren't the most exciting picks, but all the conventional wisdom around this romney pick has been he's actually going to not -- he's not going to probably shake things up. if he stands in a very good position of making this a dead even race against president obama in november, look for him to make the safe pick, portman, pawlenty, maybe somebody else. >> but we're getting close. >> we are getti...
