“Romney will announce his choice for Vice President in Norfolk, Virginia at 8:45am EST,” Romney campaign spokesman Lenny Alcivar told reporters in an email this evening.
The announcement is being made at the USS Wisconsin. It’s still unclear whom he will choose, but the odds that it is Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., seemed to increase when National Review’s Robert Costa noted that a charter plane flew from Boston to Ryan’s hometown of Janesville, Wis., today.

Paul Ryan is a stupid choice. Not because he’s a bad person, but because he is right about spending, but ,has been slammed by the mainstream media and defined as a granny killer.
The dumbshits have already bought into this and will not be convinced otherwise.
Rubio was the choice if he wanted to win. Sorry to say but even our side has to pander a bit to win the future.
Sounds like hes the unRomney...
Hes everything Romney is not...
Hes a proven Conservative...
Would you rather have Obama down your throat??
The best post here was several months ago.
” Hold your nose, VOTE for Romney, and the minute he is inagurated, hold his feet to the fire, or start impeachment hearings”!!! The bottom line is, You WILL be responsible for our country going down in flames with Obama as King if you fail to at least attempt to change things, even a bit.
If Portman were selected, 95% of the country wouldn’t have a clue who he was... maybe more than that. I like Portman, but he really won’t energize the electorate. I will say however, it’s pretty sad things have come to that... but you have to do what it takes to kill the socialist effort we face right now.
It appears Obama is already in your throat...
Touche!
Ryan is a RINO?
Have you been dipping onto the shrooms?
Ryan is a conservative in every way! I like this choice!
Ryan is the furthest thing from a Washington insider possible for a member of congress.
GOP-e bullied him bigtime when he first came in and he stood his ground against them.
You need to be careful who is getting electrified. There are plenty of people open to Romney that would be "electrified" into crawling over broken glass just to vote against a ticket with Palin on it.
gonzo may be Debbie Wasserman Schultz...
If that is the case, the Republic is finished. We can't afford the current entitlement programs, which represent an unfunded liability of over $100 trillion. And this doesn't include welfare programs and other government handouts like food stamps (46 million.) and Medicaid (60 million plus an additional 18 million when Obamacare is fully implemented.)
If the American people can't handle the truth, then the Republic isn't worth saving. We will go the way of Greece. Let the American people have a real choice and then the chips fall where they may. As Mark Steyn wrote, the 2012 Election Is The Last Exit Ramp Before The Death Spiral
Yup....and all we are going to hear is medicare, medicare, medicare. And the dems ALWAYS win on this issue.
I think the DU sleeper cells here have been activated.
Calculated decision from Romney here picking Ryan. It draws the line in the sand for the rest of this campaign to be about ideology and where this country wants to head.
There is nothing more dangerous in a national campaign than someone who can articulate conservatism. Paul Ryan is the first one we’ve had on either side of the ticket since Reagan.
I say bring it on! These are the same tone deaf Dems that tried to smear Scott Walker and ended up with it all over their own faces.
“Ryan will be made the poster child of Mediscare. The Rats will scare the seniors 24-7 that their social security and medicare will be killed by Ryan. A ryan look alike was already in their commercial pushing grandma off the cliff.”
The dims already did that in 2010. And if they do it again they will have to explain why the are cutting $500 billion from grandmas medicare. That is not a clear winner for the kenyan. I think he will stick to Bain.
If he picks a douche bag like Crispy cream i'll shoot myself (well maybe not, but i'll head to the range anyway and do some massive trigger squeezing.)
So what? They play that card every election! We finally have someone who can articulate our position on how to fix it!
What a gorgeous family what darling babies...
