In the few days since Mitt Romney swept the Wisconsin, Virginia and Washington, DC primaries, the GOP appears to be finally coalescing around the former Massachusetts governor. As Mitt Romney counts his delegates and prepares for the final stretch of the primary season, the media’s spotlight turns to potential running-mates.
Senator Marco Rubio insists he has no designs on the Vice Presidency.
