(CNN) – House Speaker John Boehner and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida will campaign for Mitt Romney this week as the GOP presidential nominee faces off on the debate stage for the first time in the general election.
Rubio, once considered a top contender as Romney's running mate, will attend a rally Tuesday in Las Vegas, close to the site of President Barack Obama's debate preparation in Henderson, Nevada.

Beohner, are you still alive? just wonder. You haven't worked in the past 3 years. Where have you been?
They can stump all they want; it won't change the FACT that Mittens has written off 47% of America (including veterans, the elderly and the disabled) and, most important, that Mittens 'n' Munster are offering up the same-old, same-old GOP economic, military and foreign policies that are PROVEN FAILURES.
Obama/Biden 2012 = The only sane choice

Here's to the unelection of John Boehner as Speaker of the GOP's Animal House!
J. McCain says "Americans probably feel better than they did before about jobs and the economy". Why would I vote for someone who runs on a business platform but won't put forth a business plan to view the details? Romney and Ryan are still plagiarizing information. The 12million he keeps talking about came from Moody's analysts and he has not given credit to them. Ryan plagiarized Obama's health care plan and has not given Obama's team credit. An awful lot of Ryan's plan was already in Obama's plan. Also don't go looking up the topic of "Son of Boss", you will be disapointed in what you find.
If Boehner have so much time to spare, he should had kept congress in town and pass Obams's jobs bill. Oh yea, that would have given Obama a win and we just can't have that. Just forget about use little people that's looking for a job
"Obama/Biden" , all the way! By the way, how many vacations have they had this year. They don't work.
I wish all I had to say on my job is the word "NO" and get 1/2 year off for vacation.
All the gop trash is out with romney the tax cheat in Nov .
Oh yeah that'll help. Boehner needs to be worrying his own job.
Boehner to hit the campaign trail for Romney? It must be that Romney is bringing down the Republican party as a whole and Boehner is in jeopardy of becoming unemployed five weeks from now.
Right-wing Social engineering
The Ryan plan now embraced by Romney is really a right-wing social engineering procedure as named by Gingrich. This is one plain truth spoken by Gingrich in all he has being saying about Romney...now he wishes he could take it back, but why should he try to take back the TRUTH...? ...why?
The games GOP plays. Ppl are hipped to this bs... Come on we are living it. U got salary of ...wHat, 500k? U doing okay, my family is not! I still believe in Obama. GOP don't care!
Maybe these two can help Romney find his tax returns and show them to the American people.
Of all candidates to ever run for the GOP presidency, Romney has the least convfidence, poise and honesty...
Why would any intellignet person ever vote for Romney?
Rubio is likely relieved not to be on Romney's sinking ship. He should gloat since he obviously would have been a more marketable candidate than Ryan with his well publicized plans to eliminate social security, medicare, and medicaid.
Oh that should help big time. Boehner worst ever house leader and Rubio could not get elected if he was running this year.
Hey jb, you said something about JOBS ???
Prior to the 2010 midterms Boehner convinced many conservatives to get out and vote. He said, "if we can regain the house, we can stop Obama and create thousands of jobs, and get Americans back to work". If conservatives still believe unemployment is a big problem in this country, how could they logically let Boehner and the Republican led house off the hook. Boehner did promise if he became speaker the house would fix everything. To date the house has not passed one bill that creates jobs. So if you Fox-"news"-brainwashed conservatives want to blame only Obama then you are all hypocrites, or very forgetful, or not very intelligent.
Boehner should talk about what he had done during his term as Speaker of the House. After all he accomplished a lot...... A whole lot of crap to stymy the economy and obstruct any forward progress. He represents what is wrong with the GOP – immaturity.
We want to elect leaders who will actually do work for the people not work against them for the simple reason the president is not in the same party. The GOP has engaged in hyperpartisan trench warfare. We all deserve much better.
....and no I am not a liberal. I am for cooperation and bipartisanship.
Boehner and Rubio? ha ha ha haha
Why would we trust them any more than we trust Ryan/Romney? I don't. Too many blatant lies.
Obama/Biden 2012
John Boehner is the last person anyone should care who he endorses. He is the leader of the obstructionist party that is the cause of the pain and suffering for many. Why on earth would anyone care about anything the lying tan man has to say?
Boehner? Rubio? Ann? What are they going to promise the people since the GOP/TP party of NO will be (hopefully) gone after Nov. 6th?
Do not let the GOP steal the election! Do not take anything for granted! Let’s go and VOTE the GOP out!!
