PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota Sen. John Thune says he's not
interested in being Mitt Romney's running mate if the former
Massachusetts governor wins the Republican presidential nomination.
But Thune, a staunch supporter of Romney's bid for president,
says he never rules out any opportunity to serve his state and
country. He says his best chance to make a difference is continuing
to work in the Senate.
Thune campaigned in Iowa for Romney, who won a narrow victory in
that state's caucuses Tuesday. The Republican senator says his goal
is to get Romney elected president because he believes Romney would
help solve the nation's problems.
Thune says it's premature to talk about being Romney's running
mate because there's a long way to go in the battle for the GOP
presidential nomination.
