Pawlenty out; GOP leaders favor Rubio for VP

Tim Pawlenty- said to be the top choice of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's staff for vice-president- has asked not to be considered.

Meanwhile, GOP leaders apparently favor Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla).

I should say that the selection of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Cydonia) would be the one thing that could shake my support for Gov. Romney. Fortunately, it's not going to happen.
