WASHINGTON (AP) - Mitt Romney is staying mum on whether Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is off his short list of potential running mates.

The presumptive Republican presidential candidate tells Fox News that "a number of people are being vetted'' but that only two people, Romney himself and a senior adviser, know who's on the list.

Romney's comments came Tuesday amid reports by ABC News and The Washington Post that Rubio isn't being vetted for vice president. Those reports came on the same day that Rubio's memoir was being released.

A rising star in Republican politics, Rubio is refusing to comment on the reports.
