Romney May Choose Woman as Running Mate, Wife Says

Could she have been talking about New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez?

Mitt Romney’s wife, Ann, disclosed in a television interview that was broadcast Thursday that her husband is considering choosing a woman as his running mate.

Martinez, a conservative Republican and the first Latina governor in U.S. history, is among the people Mitt Romney has mentioned as someone he’s considered for the vice presidential nominee slot, or a cabinet position.

“We’ve been looking at that, and I love that option as well,” Ann Romney told CBS News in a joint interview with her husband, who is the expected Republican presidential nominee. She added: “There’s a lot of people that Mitt is considering right now.”

The disclosure came as the Republican presidential candidate faces mounting criticism from inside the party about the state of his campaign and while the Romneys spent the week relaxing with their family at their lakeside estate in Wolfeboro.
