Romney Picks Wrong Rubio For VP Candidate

Ricky Rubio of Minnesota Has Been Selected As Mitt Romney's VP Candidate

Minnesota (CHN) - A dejected Marco Rubio of Florida took a difficult phone call this morning after finding out that GOP presumptive Presidential candidate Mitt Romney had selected a different Rubio to join his campaign. 

A Romney spokesman admitted that the selection was a terrible error not only because Ricky Rubio of the Minnesota Timberwolves has no political experience but also because the young point guard also has a torn ACL which has made him questionable for the start of next season. 

Longtime strategist Karl Rove had a different view, "...if Ricky Rubio can swing Minnesota, we can afford to focus on other key western swing states and possibly still make up the loss of Florida".

The Obama campaign was left flat-footed and has still not commented publicly on the selection of the Spanish born 21 year old rookie point guard who is not eligible for any federal office.
