In Ohio Monday, Sen. John McCain weighed in on potential vice presidential candidates for Mitt Romney by praising Ohio Sen. Rob Portman. Portman endorsed Romney in January.
He is “clearly in the top tier” as a VP pick, McCain told the Associated Press after an event in which he endorsed Senate candidate Josh Mandel in Columbus. “He has made a mark in the Senate in a short period of time that I think is nothing less than phenomenal. He brings to the Senate credentials on the key issues of jobs and the economy no one else has. And so I think he would be a very strong running mate for Mitt Romney.”
