...as the latest favorite in the race for Mitt Romney's running mate. Intrade has him in the lead, and Chris Cillizza (who has the best blog on politics) has a post about the Ohio senator today. Cillizza mentions that Portman (my emphasis):
...does have much to recommend him — based in a swing state, budget credentials and steadiness as a messenger among other things. That combination could (and perhaps should) put him on the short list.
Wait a minute! Budget credentials?
Portman was the Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President George W. Bush. According to Wikipedia (my emphasis):
During his tenure, the US public debt increased by 469 billion dollars.
Again, does this country have amnesia?
