This evening "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomed "New York Times" Op-Ed Columnist Frank Bruni to share his unique blend of political insight and perspective.
On the heels of Barack Obama's speech closing the G-20 summit in Mexico, Bruni took Tuesday's visit with Piers Morgan to discuss the president's GOP opponent ? Mitt Romney ? as well as the upcoming general election:
"The polls all say it's pretty close. Do you think it's going to remain that way? Is this going to be a really aggressive, tightly forged contest?" the host asked his guest.
"I do. We could be proven wrong," allowed Bruni. "Right now, we have an economy that seems to be improving incrementally. It's very vague, it's very unclear, and in that uncertainty, you have, I think, the recipe for a nail-biter of an election."
As November inches closer, experts and analysts alike are anxiously awaiting word of the name that will appear next to Romney's on the Republican ticket. Of late, a certain senator from Florida seems to be the vice-presidential front-runner, but Bruni is not convinced:
"I'm going to go out on a limb and tell you I'm pretty sure Marco Rubio will not be the choice," he predicted. "He doesn't have an enormous amount of experience. Coming out of 2008 with all the questions raised about Sarah Palin ? he's not Sarah Palin ? but they have to veer toward a candidate of whom they can say with great certainty this person's ready to take over the presidency day two if that somehow happened. I don't think Marco Rubio's going to be the guy."
Watch the clip, and listen to the interview, as Bruni details Rubio's value in helping the Republicans capture the "Latino Vote," thus explaining why the Floridian's name remains in the ring to this point.
