I know that my track record sucks, but I am not predicting that Rand Paul will be Mitt Romney’s running mate:

A day after endorsing Mitt Romney, Sen. Rand Paul said it would be an honor to run alongside the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

“A year, year and a half ago, I was a physician in a small town,” Paul, the junior Republican senator from Kentucky, told CNN’s Don Lemon. “And it would be a great honor to be considered as a vice president for the Republican Party. I think that would be something that anybody who said otherwise would not be being truthful.”

Paul, who on Thursday came out in support of Romney, said on CNN he had not discussed with the candidate the prospect of joining the GOP ticket.

Paul, a tea party favorite and son of presidential candidate Ron Paul, said his father “has always been my first choice,” but that the nominating process favored Romney.

Rand Paul has said that he would have run this year had his dad, Ron Paul not run, and he is clearly very receptive to the idea of being Mitt’s running mate.

Additionally, he has serious teabagger cred.

I would not call him a slam dunk, but to my mind, he is the most likely selection right now.
