Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney appears to be in the final stages of deciding his vice presidential running mate, with speculation growing that he has narrowed his list to three: Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is campaigning hard for Mitt Romney and blasting President Obama. No surprise there. But exciting crowds on the stump? The Atlantic says so. And Politico reports Pawlenty has emerged as Romney's most effective surrogate.

Traders on the Ireland-based Intrade political betting market have placed $17.8 million worth of bets on whom GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney will pick as his ticket's vice presidential candidate. Gamblers have put the most money on Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

In a new interview Wednesday, Tim Pawlenty said Mitt Romney has released an adequate amount of tax records and that the Obama campaign is trying to create a distraction with the issue.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's campaign says you can be among the first to find out if former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is his choice for vice president – just download his free app. The campaign has created an iPhone and Android application to alert supporters when Romney makes his vice presidential pick.

No longer vice presidential material, Tim Pawlenty appears to emerging as a potential candidate for Secretary of State for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, given the former Minnesota governor's strong interest in foreign policy. But is Pawlenty interested in the potential opportunity?

There's yet another indication that former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's short list of possible vice presidential candidates. Romney aide Beth Myers Friday tweeted a suggestion to follow Pawlenty's Twitter address, along with 12 other names that mirror Romney's possible VP list including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

Tim Pawlenty told Fox News today that he 'won't be considered' for the vice president spot with Mitt Romney, if he wins the GOP nomination. The former governor ended his bid for president in August after coming in third in the Ames Iowa Straw Poll.
