That pick impressed me too. Ryan's not black, not a woman, not from Florida, not an Oihoan.
Romney went to the NAACP and didn't pander to them. Then Romney surprised me further when he said he would fire Ben Bernanke.
Look, we're not going to get everything we want from this guy, not right away. We need not make the same mistake the Dems did with Obama, in trying to get everything done at once. We must think long term, and be patient. I'm not sure we have any other choice.
But I'm warming to this guy Romney too. I judge him by what he does now instead of what he says, and I could be wrong about this, but I don't judge him by what he did in Massachussetts, either. I have friends down here from Boston, and they are staunch conservatives, but they tell me that Mass is an absolute bastion of liberalism, a "nutty" kind of liberalism (I know, I know) that it must have been difficult for Romney to deal with.
