Fun new game: MSNBC‘s GOP Veepstakes.

Click above to play new VP game with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd and David Gregory. Our pick and prediction is lawyer Rob Portman, 53, not nationally known, but a talented Bushie and conservative who goes down well with the “real” GOP rank and file, which has been grooming him for years. With roots in southern Ohio’s Republican “Taft country”, Portman’s been a Cincinnati congressman, and both U.S. Trade Representative and Director of the Office of Management and Budget under George W. Bush. That’s an exemplary resume for a relatively young guy. Long-term weak point: he has hardly any enemies, which makes you wonder about him.
