GOP 2012 Presidential Race

Irony: Former NYC Mayor & Presidential Contender, Rudy Guiliani, endorses Governor Mitt Romney for President today. Same day I found this old photo taken four years ago w Mayor Guiliani and Former Virginia Attorney General & Gubernatorial Candidate, Jerry Kilgore.

GOP VP Candidate? Portman?

GOP 2012 Presidential Race

U.S. Senator Rob Portman of Ohio endorsed Republican Presidential Candidate, Governor Mitt Romney, early on.

He has been rumored to be a potential VP Candidate.

We interviewed Senator Portman during his visit a few weeks ago to Beavercreek.

When we asked him about the possibility of being Romney's VP pick, he didn't necessarily DISMISS it, like U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.  When I talked to Rubio (who is campaigning with Romney in PA today).. the freshman senator clearly dismissed the idea.

I even asked him, "What if Romney calls you says I NEED you to be my VP?"

Senator Rubio said he had a few things to finish up first in the U.S. Senate.

Lets not leave out Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell...

My husband who seems to predict these things- has his own opinions...

he predicted Sarah Palin for John McCain last Election Year...

but I'll wait for him to reveal who he believes will be the VP Pick =)

Cox Media Business Reporters- "Better Together!"

Okay, Im ready to put my new tools to use!!!

I took a "Better Together" road trip Friday with one of our business reporters for the Dayton Daily News.

Mark Fisher, the Food & Wine expert, and I drove down to Lexington KY for a

(i mostly asked Mark about his food expertise lol)

I found the business journalism seminar extremely educational, especially being new to investigative business reporting!  I especially learned a LOT about business reporting through a professor from UNC (no, he did not wear Carolina Blue- rather UK Blue) who taught us several secret websites for reporting =)

the Broadway sign is a special shoutout for Mark's wife =)
