Rudy Giuliani, stumping for Mitt Romney in Florida, offered his own take on who the candidate should pick for a running mate:

In an interview in Tampa with News Channel 8, the one-time presidential candidate said he was comfortable with all the potential running mates being talked about in the press, but thinks U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio would be the best choice. Giuliani said the Florida senator could help the campaign attract young people.

On the one hand, he was making the comment in Rubio's home state. On the other, he's the latest Romney endorser to openly make the pitch for Rubio (Jeb Bush said yesterday he's even approached Romney about it).
