There are 160 days left until Election Day and as we continue the countdown -- is that we are nearing an announcement on governor Romney's running mates.

So how important is his choice going to be in terms of swing voters of the ballot box.

Are gonna go through everybody really quick here Billy Cunningham god bless your great American -- I want a full report what do you think it will be who should have -- I hope in a sense it's Marco Rubio because he brings Nevada Arizona New Mexico -- lot of help their Colorado.

I've known Rob Portman for 25 years he's he's Mr.

Smith Goes to Washington but.

If Romney needs Portman won Ohio he's not gonna win the election anyway so I -- marker -- I agree -- reality to deliver Florida -- -- rallying appeal to the Hispanics and Tea Party individuals.

I think he -- bring could bring a whole package for roaming where he's lacking in those areas sir.

This the Romney campaign feels fairly confident that things are going well -- played safe and -- choose a Robb and governor Tim Pawlenty.

If there -- a little worried about how things are going I think they'll throw the long ball and -- with Condi Rice and in fact I think that would probably be the compelling draws on the Drudge Report last night and lot of people who have been -- and that'll die.

Yeah yes I agree Condi Rice I think would be a compelling choice would like you think -- really feel like he's young his aspirations might be a little further out at this point.

OK so who would be the best choice you think -- -- okay.

Look I would say that Mitt Romney should use the advice the ticket -- that my -- bugging me about dating him digging in -- No flashing that's meat and potatoes we don't need drama we don't -- rocks are going to grab my -- -- -- pick who should he pick.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Not Jennifer -- now I really think it have to be some money.

So that -- a lot of drama -- we are beginning to I want Maine donated and Rollins give meaning rice.

Be a disaster I think basically she's never been tested the political we have no idea what she stands a domestic issue.

She is a decent secretary of state but all that will be dragged forth the debates on that I think Marco Rubio is a double force he can help us win Florida we lost -- -- 200000 plus votes.

He basically gives us a great future candidate will be him and -- and I think it should be adrenaline.

Promises.

I think it's the first you know hard situation angry with you and that and I think at the end of the day condi race -- track of all the Bush Administration stuff that they don't wanna track up.

So she be disaster disagree with my friends in the front here I think Rob Portman because he's you know -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Well video on elements out there that is going to be pretty important that's where the Ron Paul it's gonna go.

And Romney needs -- Ron Paul -- if he's gonna win Willoughby who should episode does he bring -- Rand Paul probably not.

But you gotta -- a lot of people you want -- -- -- -- milk toasts may be goats Portman.

First of all Ron -- not a factor there that's -- out liar when it comes as a and as little as you it'll run out of time -- -- help you guys in the back and I wish he'd resign and I had to get General Petraeus I think he'd probably go of the rubio I think condi sedate Izzy.

If he -- because some of the old Bush Administration tactics but she's qualified will insurance.

I think he'll probably go.

For Poland.

Eventually you'll go for Portman because he's played it safe the entire way he should go for rubio but for all the reasons stated.

Chuck I think -- -- Clemente and I didn't rubio was -- -- the.

Are highly important and on the series but I think there's an appetite for confidence and solidity.

As opposed to drama -- had enough of that attack what they think we're quick rubio is drama.

-- rubio is a guy is young he's somewhat untested there are some questions I think about more experience than Obama.

Okay but that's a low standards.

Okay I'm.

Call said -- -- -- -- -- for -- rubio Allen last or Paul Ryan I don't think -- apple I think it will be.

I think it will be apartment or Pawlenty if someone safe which is not what he should have.

They think it normally and I think the vice president.

The price presidential pick actually matters I think the people mostly -- atop the ticket my concern for Romney I had concerned.

Could be that heat he's still feels very undefined.

For independent voters and so this pick really will need to define him and unfortunately -- don't feel like Portman does that I don't feel like she will need someone given some a little bit of splashing me -- immediately.

So yeah that makes a lot of gas like Joseph Biden.

-- I I like rubio he's he won't hurt the ticket and you might help in some swing states and maybe with Hispanic voters.

YE.

Want markup that's my choice.

I think you would add most of the ticket.

I tend to agree with Charles.

He may play a little safer we think Marco Rubio is the best communicated at the Republican Party has Paul Ryan is the smartest -- select the GOP has.

And I think that in the end Rob Portman because he does bring Ohio is the best choice for Romney right now.

Knowing that Ryan and rubio was Sunday be present -- United States -- question.

For everybody show of hands how many do you think Mitt Romney will be the next president.

How many think Barack Obama gets reelected.

You scare me so do you.

It all right interest and a great group tonight Frank Luntz thank you so much as always we love having you thank all of you some of the best and brightest minds in the country we appreciate it.
