But his problems aren't going to go away.

In a fairly liberal pocket of Norfolk. I'm surprised it's not McDonald of he's doing it here.

Does Ryan have military experience? Or is this going to be a last minute suprise announcement of someone in the republican party that actually served??

I mean really.. the USS Wisconsin?? weird.

a young and handsome Midwestern dude.

I am hoping for Portman - a completely boring old Bushie.

It really hurts them.

Rubio and Ryan were their best shots since Sarah Palin ruined the female angle for them. Anyway. I hope its Portman because no one will care.

help their image problem.

Paint him as the Medicare Killer but not "old".

There really isn't diversity in him. What is 42 compared to 52 or 62 when talking about a boring white guy republican?

BAD choice.

Two cold, aloof white guys--that's the Republican ticket.

Fox broke in w/ special report after 11pm RT @passantino: Romney team believes VP announcement will result in 11 point bounce --Carl Cameron

Clearly, it's not even in the ballpark.

Romney's campaign is worthless. They have ONE strong base and it was the elderly. So they choose a guy that is going to become the most hated man in that demographic, once they realize that his budget is a Korch/Norquist masterpiece.

This is the best he could do??? Well.. he'll get the tea bagger vote for sure.

and their idiot listeners will believe it.

My parents already believe it.

Ryan would be too good to be true. Hope I'm wrong.

LOL

I haven't waken and had my caffeine by 9

Announcing it on a Saturday morning, the time when most people tune out for the next 48 hours.

What an idiot.

As soon as he releases his "Romney Ryan" bumper stickers, etc., we can immediately release exact replica "Romney's Lyin'" bumper stickers within minutes.

The Zombie-eyed Granny Starver is the perfect target for the Democrats. Joe will eat him alive and pick his teeth with the bones in the debate. The POTUS' oppo research team has just been handed a goldmine.

- the Kochs and other corporate elitists love him and to them he did well in the recall, but he would definitely love to be in the national spotlight (again).

Walker did get support from many around the country and that helped him in the recall.

... for bringing the Republican budget to the fore. Yahoo!!
The Wisconsin was active during the Korean war and probably killed a few Chinese, not to mention a few Iraqis in the first Gulf war.
One can only hope that an announcement of the deck of a battleship will underscore how out of touch Romney is.
He's looking for a battle and has already lost the fight.

That is 6 am on the West Coast. I guess they have definitely written off Oregon, Washington state and California. Just as well. They don't have a chance here.
