It seems Rob Portman is the consensus media safe choice, thus delivering Ohio.
But I think he doesn't have the same stature outside of Ohio.  Plus, his working in the Bush White House might be seen as a negative, if he were to someday become president, so Obama can knock him by portraying him as a Bush Stooge. 
Mitch Daniels is a good choice but also too quiet and may not have the balls to take it to and take down Obama-Biden. 
I think Thune and DeMint would be good choices to shore up the base.
Rubio is obviously too young to be taken seriously and he said he will turn down vp. 

As I've said time and time again, you need a heavyweight VP to knock down Obama, and only one man has the media stature to do it, Jeb Bush.  He never served in the Dubya white house, so there is no direct complaints of corruption or mismanagement.  Plus, he will reunite the Evangelicals who won't backstab a Bush.
