By the way, if Bush is the presidential nominee, Rubio wouldn’t be chosen for VP, but not for the legal reason commonly cited. A Bush-Rubio ticket is in fact constitutional, despite a widespread belief to the contrary. Yet such a matchup obviously makes little political sense, and Florida’s electors — assuming the GOP ticket wins in the state — would have to abstain in the vice presidential voting unless either Bush or Rubio has moved his voting residence outside of Florida. If the presidential contest is close in the Electoral College tally, these abstentions would open up the possibility that no one would obtain an Electoral College majority for VP so that the Senate would choose the next vice president under the terms of the 12th Amendment to the Constitution. With Bush-Rubio, the GOP would be making a risky and unnecessary bet that the Senate in early 2017 would still be under Republican control.

I looked it up (http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_amendments_11-27.html). It's true.
Huckabee is also a Florida resident these days. For that reason, he would not likely be part of a ticket that included either Bush or Rubio. You could wind up with a Republican president and a Democrat vice president.
