Actually, I hope Ryan returns the “favor”.

Sorry but I had to fix that.

I bet Willard will be all over the Alphabet media... trying to steal thunder from Obamas party in Charlotte... So what difference does this make ???
Because one is the incumbent president. While the other is the challenger. The tradition is for the sitting president to give the challenger his/her time in the sun... and lay low.

Thank you. I’d never predict an election this far out, but momentum seems to be on Romney’s side...and it appears that Barry agrees with me.

Ah well yes that does make a difference...
But theres nothing nothing usual about this election...
It would be traditional for Gov Sarah Palin as a leader in the GOP and the past VP canidate to speak in a leading role
but shes not...
I think both current would be candidates are lacking in virtue, grace and manners, and decency, American values, and patriotism..
and I would like to call for a do over...
But I dont get to arrange the programs...

Me too. I think Romney should do the same. He should fight for every vote. October is not that long from now, and obama is a dirty campaigner.

As for upstaging the RNC - rots o’ ruck.
Nobody’s going to be watching him, but then, nobody will be seeing the half-empty venues wherever he appears, either.
So for him, psychologically, it will be a wash. He can polish up his stump speech before modestly friendly audiences, try to regain a little stage presence, and get in the practice for all the moves he will be making shortly.
But nothing new or startling will be revealed in this period either, or if it is, it will be completely below any notice by the larger public. And be unrecorded, for the most part.
Dress rehearsal for election night.

Did you see how Willard anihilated the Conservatives this past Spring ???
When it comes to Obama He wont be as nasty to a fellow Harvard classmate and liberal...
But Im sure he will hit Obama with his purse a time or 2..

Im sure Paul Ryan will keep Obama from hurting Wee Willies fragile ego..

What needs to happen is Romney needs to rent a different NFL stadium every day of the DemocRat convention, heavily advertise he will be speaking each evening at “Prime Time” while Paul Ryan will be speaking each afternoon. And immediately after each of his speeches, a prominent conservative voice will end the daily festivities. This would eliminate Hatch, McCain, McConnell, et al. More like Rubio, Christie, Walker, Perry, Paling or others. Wonder who would have the largest crowd? On the night of the acceptance speech by his imperial majesty Comrade El Presidente Caliph Sheik Obama the First, put his image on a Jumbotron and have everyone just laugh out loud and point at the boob on the boob tube.
Now Barry, match that you sack of excrement.

Obama can campaign during the RNC but will anybody be watching?
It is probably a false notion that presidential candidates sit on the sidelines during their opponents conventions because they are being gentlemen, giving their opponents their day in the sun, knowing that they will be reciprocated in kind during their convention.
It's more because the conventions tend to dominate the news cycle during the week they are going on so it would be futile for the opposing candidate to gain any traction or media coverage during that period anyway. So they give themselves and their campaign staff a much-needed vacation so they can re-charge their batteries for the general election battle that lies ahead.
If Obama continues campaigning during the RNC, he's just being stupid (as usual) and burning out his campaign staff for no good reason.
