Walker: People have talked about Walker-Rubio ticket
It seems a little early, but some people are already talking about possible Republican presidential tickets.
Scott Walker and Marco Rubio, for example.
“I've actually had quite a few people, grass-roots supporters, donors and others who have made that suggestion,” the Wisconsin governor told Bloomberg Politics when asked about a possible Walker/Rubio ticket.
Walker, who is expected to formally announce his presidential bid next month, said: “For now, you know, Marco is a quality candidate. He's going to be formidable in this race as things progress. And if we were to get in, we'd be as well, and we'll see where things take us."
Of course, the Florida senator has his eye on the top spot of the Republicans' 2016 ticket -- no word on whether he would consider Walker for the veep spot.
"Walker said both he and Rubio often hear the suggestion that they should combine forces, potentially even before the first nomination voting in Iowa in February 2016, as a way to stand out amid a crowded field. 'We'd just probably have to arm-wrestle over who would be at the top of the ticket,' he said.
"Some who have talked privately to Walker about a possible pairing with Rubio say they have been surprised by how seriously the Wisconsin governor seems to be taking the prospect. At this phase of presidential campaign, the norm would be for a White House hopeful to summarily dismiss such a move, in public and in private."
