    South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said during a trip to England this week that she is not in the running to become Mitt Romney's No. 2, according to the Wall Street Journal:

    "No, I am not," replied Ms. Haley after being asked if the Romney campaign was vetting her.

    "I have made it very clear from the very beginning that I love my job, I love South Carolina and I made a promise to the people of my state [to complete my term] and I have to keep it," said Ms. Haley during an interview at the Farnborough International Air Show promoting South Carolina aerospace.
