Timing

a Saturday in the middle of August? The last weekend of the Olympics?

They should have had this ready to go 3 weeks ago to kill of the tax return story and they clearly waited a few extra days so that Ryan could finish his vacation.


Newsies like us will follow this but for most people the first reaction will be "Who is Paul Ryan?" the second reaction will be "Is he old enough to be President?"

Ryan just added to a major problem, so it's not going to get any better.

Expect his polls to dive again.

Unless he controls the voting boxes, it's painfully obvious that Romney still remains out of touch.
