I don't quite agree:

17% of registered voters in the state of Florida say they will change who they will vote for in the election for President as a result of Mitt Romney’s selection of Paul Ryan . . . Of those who will change their vote, 57% say they are more likely to vote for Romney, 42% say they are less likely to vote for Romney.

If you take those surveyed at their word (and I don't - how many firmly decided voters say that every event makes them "more likely to vote for" the option they have already chosen?), that is a net gain of 15% of the 17% who claim to have changed their opinions, or 2.5%. That is, as Clueless Joe would say, a big deal, but it's not a 17% uptick. When we get the next reliable poll of FL voters, we'll find out what this really means. I'm hopeful, but I don't expect the numbers from Rasmussen, Gallup, or anyone else to actually show 17% or even 2.55%. I'd take a change of 1.5% and call that a big win.

I don’t rely on the ‘polls’ - which we know can be easily skewed - and are - as well as over sampled with dems -

I’ll take these REAL and VERIFIABLE stats at to what has happened in the past few days. They tell quite a story - and they are the FACTS.

Online Fundraising for R&R
Donations: 124,800+
Amount: $10,157,947
Average Donation: $81
% New Donors: 68%

the social media and web world since the Ryan announcement?

Site Traffic – Total: 2,000,000
Mitt Romney Facebook: +510,000 — Now 4,360,000
Mitt Romney Twitter: +54,000 — Now 861,000
Paul Ryan Facebook: +860,000
Paul Ryan Twitter: +118,500
Volunteers 45,000+ sign up to volunteer online

all the naysayrs and twisters can put that in their pipes and smoke it - it’s what’s going down. No way to spin it.
