Because Rob Portman's son was gay, most likely.
The final three where Ryan, Christie and Rubio,
Christie was hated by the Romney team for his overbearing manner, and that was before the absolute ton of dirt they found on him in the vetting process (I think a lot in the GOP were still scarred from Palins complete lack of vetting)
Rubio was unknown by Romney; and had only been in the Senate for what 2 years? It would have been similar to Gore picking Edwards in 2000; a pick that was purely for aesthetic terms and to wave off someone shiny, and new.
