Huck and Romney ramp up VP talk

Republican Mitt Romney told Fox News earlier this week that he'd be "honored" to be John McCain's running mate. Mike Huckabee said on NPR this morning that vice-president is a job no one wants but nobody ever turns down.

"I don't think anybody ever turns that dowm. I always said that's a job that nobody wants but nobody ever says no to..." He also added "It's pretty rare that a person declines..."

It appears that some of the possible VP picks are being more aggressive about the second slot. Does Gov. Pawlenty do anything differently?

For those keeping score, McCain mused about the VP possibilities here.
