do delegates have to select the VP choice of the nominee?

[cindy25]

just thinking, suppose Romney does win on the first ballot, and then selects Jeb or Portman

is there anything to prevent the delegates from nominating Rand for VP?

The VP is elected by the delegates at the RNC. Traditionally the nominee's choice is elected. But there is nothing compelling the delegates to vote for the nominee's choice.

There is nothing to prevent Rand or Ron being nominated and selected as VP.
