Posted May 13, 2008

Reader Comments

Arrogant Nominee

Portman is arrogant and unapproachable, even to those in mid-to-high level socio-economic classes and postions--my opinion. I'm sorry first-hand experience proves that Portman is a silver-spooned candiate, incapable of objective thought and reasoning.

Vice President

I live in Cincinnati's second district and know no person better equipped to bring the two parties together to work more cooperatively and positively, and with as much grace and diplomacy than Rob Portman. He is the REAL change this country needs!

Your point 7 is inaccurate. Rob became director of the Budget office for a year before returning to Ohio.

Vice President

I live in Ohio's second district,and I beleive that Portman would certainly play a huge part in helping McCain to be elected if Rob is his choice for VP.

point 7 - forgot Director OMB position

Forgot to mention that after becoming US Trade Rep, Rob served as the Director of OMB and last year returned home to Cincinnati.
