It is Ryan. The base is foaming. We win Florida.

The Ryan plan is nothing more than a strategy for winnowing the baby boomer generation by cutting off health care for aging boomers. It's soft genocide directed at the most vulnerable. What do you expect from predatory capitalists born with silver spoons? America needs a serious realignment and radical redistribution of wealth. Reagan's legacy is the bane of civil society.

gotta assume it's McDonnell

inevitability can look surprisingly familiar. Now, Mittens is no brain surgeon, but even he has to know that this isn't going to happen for him. No showing of the taxes, no being of the President. Why not go for the "what the fuck, I've lost anyway" candidate.

I doubt people are lining up to join the SS Mittens Titanic trip.

They don't do it like that.

Obama announced Biden at a rally in Springfield, Illinois and Kerry announced Edwards at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Wonder if they'll have balloons and cake, too?

Maybe Mitt will show up in a flight suit.

The interview will be broadcast on the Monday Newshour.

I thought it a little odd that he would give the interview to PBS on a Saturday. I would think that he would want the interview on one of the news networks which would air the interview or excerpts in time for the Sunday newspapers.

Tabernacle choir Perhaps.

The entire web is on fire that its Ryan too (btw)

Every one cheer for the man who was taught by the Catholics but became a true believer in Ayn Rand.

Ryan is a gift to the Obama Campaign.

That 17% of those who identified themselves as Tea Baggers support Obama. Ryan would be a logical choice to attempt to bring many of these Tea Baggers back on board. (Can't control the formatting so I bolded the total).

Hey, Wisconsin! Screw you and your voting me out in November! Screw the investigations! I'm headed for the big time!!!

real expearience, and he wants to cut medicare and social security. The only thing he can do is tickle republicans' rage boner against government. That's really not enough. Portman would at least bring a needed state to the republicans and not give us as big of a target.

Yes they are that dumb.

Romney does. Is that really someone they think the country will vote for?

Ryan is Mitt's lame attempt to suck up to the Teabaggers and Ryan figures it won't hurt his career as a US Representative, he'll still have the job in 2013

OR this guy?

stepping aboard the Titanic!

Gotta be Ryan. I mean, using the troops as a backdrop is such a Boosh stunt. But if he's doing it on the USS Wisconsin, it's got to be because the Congressman from Wisconsin wins the booby prize.

the military are not like extras in a film. And he is not liked by the troops at all.

Seriously.. they are running that campaign like a sorority president contest.

Oh gosh.. Ryan/Wisconsin.. the USS Wisconsin? Adorable, I tell ya! Of course that's the closest Mitt or his sons will EVER get to the military in their lives, touring a Navy Ship.

Ryan is already reviled by seniors: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/01/paul-ryan-budget-attack-ads-medicare-cuts_n_1394939.html

And the comments I saw online today by ALL kinds of seniors, were NOT friendly toward him at all. He's a fucking Norquist wannabe, and the Koch brother's little investment. Romney is finding out WHY you don't take hundreds of millions of dollars from scumbags... they all want something. Romney no more picked his VP, than he does his own laundry.

have made Mittens choice, ummmmmmmmmm, Condi Rice, or another female. . . .and on a ship, OH PLEASE, this shit was forced.

Virginia Governor mcdonnell will attend, and the boys will be off to visit several Virginia cities.

The political life of anyone who runs on the Romney ticket is over. I don't know ANY Repuke, save maybe Christine O'Donnell or Michele Bachmann, who'd do it.

She was a mistake of Palinesque proportions.


Edited to add: I used to think that McCain just went senile, but while still a Republican, he stopped being batshit crazy after the election. Something about being a Presidential candidate is just crazy making, I think.

I wonder if he hopes we'll just be too busy to notice he has a running mate come Monday? LOL

to a suicide mission

What an attention clown.

that he's trying to keep this on the low down so maybe we won't notice he acquired a suicidal idiot, I mean, running mate. If everyone is glued to the Olympics, this weekend news dump idea might just work.

Nah.

I know that the voting populace doesn't really pay attention to politics, but seriously I think people will notice Ryan is on the ticket at least by the convention.

But no, we will tear him to pieces in short order. Shouldn't take more than a week, 2 at the most, but they will be good times. Good times.

The news that he didn't pay income taxes for 10 years and Romney's role in Marriott's legal issue while he was on their Board off the front pages. I actually picked this weekend for the VP announcement so it would be the story on Sunday talk. The surprise would have been that he didn't announce his pick on Saturday.

Interesting.

It's almost like he thinks this contest isn't over.

It's over. Been over for a few weeks now. Done. Stick a fork in it.

Wow, Presidential candidates must really live in thick bubbles.

But then again, Obama is once again a Presidential candidate and yet he seems to see how it is. He's lobbing them back with his non-dominant hand. I think the only reason Obama isn't completely phoning it in is because he loves campaigning so much.

The WSJ editorial the other day made it almost a sure bet that it would be Ryan.

Because they tried a woman and that didn't work, and they CAN NOT try a minority male.

Daily Kos: Introducing the Committee to End Medicare

(and to end medicaid and Obamacare)

And here's an article on Ryan in The New Yorker: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/08/06/120806fa_fact_lizza

Ryan as the VP choice was made specifically for the base. This will bring the tea bags out in droves where they will be voting for Ryan and every other Repugnant that is running for office in this country. They want it all.

And, the stark reality is that the Ryan budget was passed in the House. All they need is control of the Senate and a President who will sign on the dotted line.
