THURSDAY UPDATE: Here’s the photo you were waiting for–Colorado’s own Kevin “Crazy Uncle” Lundberg, and possible GOP VP nominee Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio. Juntos.

Like we said, Lundberg has never enjoyed such prominence, and likely never will again.

UPDATE: Ask and ye shall receive–for posterity:

Do you see that smile on Kevin Lundberg’s face? This is the Colorado Senate’s “crazy uncle,” folks. Standing next to a potential VP nominee is the highest profile he’s ever going to have.

But will Romney’s campaign let Lundberg near them once they read his bio?

We’ll update as press coverage comes in throughout the day. Sources report about 60 people total at the Mitt Romney campaign’s event in Johnson’s Corner, about 20-25 of whom were staffers and another half-dozen or so press. GOP luminaries in attendance, in addition to Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, included Rep. Cory Gardner, Colorado GOP chairman Ryan Call–and interestingly, as you can see in the photo above, longshot CD-2 candidate Kevin Lundberg’s campaign was in full force. We haven’t seen any pictures of the always-entertaining Lundberg with somebody consequential like Sen. Portman, but that would be a great posterity photo.
