Rumors: Kasich seems to be a very popular choice for VP, with Portman not too far behind. Pence wants a shot, but nobody seems to be too keen on that. Susana Martinez's name is being tossed around. But the big rumor is about some deal between Walker/Kasich or someone like that for Pres and VP that they would all unify before the primaries in an effort to knock one of Bush/Romney/Christie out. They think the primaries could knock out the other "establishment" candidates out, leaving them against the Tea Party, which they know they will win.
Dem (no change):
Hillary Clinton
Bernie Sanders
Jim Webb
On the VP front Brian Schewitzer seems to be back in the picture, although I'm not sure how strong he would be. Martin O' Malley seems to have resigned himself to looking for a VP slot. Apparently Hillary's top VP choices are Julian Castro (not shocked at all), Tim Kaine (can't see this), Michael Bennett from CO, and Cory Booker. Castro has the lead, because the other people don't nearly help as much. Gillibrand desperately wants to be considered, but is outside the initial group.
The primaries look to be a lot of candidates vying for the VP position.
