Romney to announce running mate on Saturday @9am ET in Norfolk, VA

I'm not sure that Rubio would bring the success that Republicans are hoping it would bring. Yes, I can see Romney comfortably winning in Florida but as far as recruiting Hispanics, many will see Rubio as not authentically Hispanic due to his party registration. He does more help than harm to the ticket but it doesn't seem to be all it's been cracked up to be.

The Upper Midwest or Great Lake states is where I believe the election will be decided so it's not a bad idea to pick Pawlenty or Ryan. Leaning Democratic states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio will likely decide this race. Don't forget Iowa and Pennsylvania either. I consider my part of PA to be midwest. I still think Rubio can turn CO, NM, and NV if things are done right.
