Facts don’t matter. The pick of Biden hurt Obama in the polls, the pick of Palin helped McCain in the polls. I even joked on FR right after the election that they will try and convince us that Palin hurt the ticket. It was so laughable I took some heat for it. Now its repeated as fact over and over again in any article about picking a VP.
If Romney loses it will not be because he was a rino that did not attract enough support from the conservative base-it will be because Ryan was a horrible pick of an ideologue and the GOP must moderate.
Speaking the truth.
Man, FR is abou the only place the truth exists these days.
Remember that show “Jericho”.....While I’d never wish that horror on any nation, a government functioning out of Cheyanne (sp?) would likely be much better than D.C.
Except every sign points to an INCREASE in the Romney support as the base coalesces around him as was planned.
What many don't understand is Romney is a very, very successful business man and one thing a successful business must have is the ability to think both tactically and strategically. In the case of Ryan as his VP choice he has done both as it generated an instant charge to the campaign which the Left has been unable to diffuse. This is the tactical reason for the choice.
Strategically, the hoped for and I believe realized effect will be to carry the torch for reform in our quickly failing Social programs.
I don't know for sure of course who will win in Nov. At least not now but I do believe Ryan was not just a good choice but a brilliant one.
