Here's my opinion.
Ryan is at least tied for the LEAST safe choice. He is VERY controversial and is hated by the media. Romney only chooses Ryan if internal polls show him WAY ahead and he is not the least bit concerned about the media or independents or any of that manipulation crap put out by democrats.
Romney has a huge lead and chose to solidify the base by picking Ryan.
Exactly!
Hugh has a tin ear for Politics and Football. Having said that, I do enjoy his guests.
Spot on!
His internals likely showed his huge lead may have slipped a little in recent days by squemish independents scared by the negative junk, but he didn’t go with someone to nail down Florida or Ohio or some minority vote - he took the bold step of focussing the issues - Economy, Budget and the role of the Federal Government. Clear choice. Solidified the base NATIONALLY - not just a region or group.
