I don't think it will be Jeb Bush. As other people said, the Bush name still leaves a sour taste in people's mouths and the last thing Romney wants is to give Obama ammo. With Bush on the ticket every stop on the Obama campaign trail will include him reminding people that Jeb's brother drove the country into the ground.
There is no chance of it being Newt. He can resonate with the right wing nutjob base, but pretty much everyone other than them hates him.
I think it will be either Rubio or Christie. Christie seems like he is well liked and he comes off kind of like an average dude you would have a beer with. He could help Romney offset the image problem he has of being born into privilege and having nothing in common with average people. He might even be able to help him make New Jersey competitive. Rubio is from Florida so he can help Romney win Florida. He is also Cuban so he can help Romney court some of the Hispanic vote away from Obama.
