The US Senator from Ohio would be the leading candidate to be Mitt Romney's vice presidential choice, if he wasn't widely viewed as a stiff. Actually, according to a Portman ally, he's kind of a badass.
He learned Spanish from Mexican cowboys while working on a border ranch. He worked on three cattle ranches in high school and college.
He wrote a chapter in the book "First Descents. In Search of Wild Rivers" about his experience smuggling a kayak into China in the 1980s to kayak the Yangtze River.
He has a titanium collarbone from a mountain biking accident in 2010. He dislocated his shoulder this year whitewater kayaking.
This is not actually Rob Portman's collarbone, just an example.
He assembled a chicken coop for his wife's Christmas present this year and he gave her four chickens that live in their backyard. They each lay four eggs a day.
This is not actually Rob Portman's chicken coop, just an example.
