Romney’s PERSONAL pick of Paul Ryan is what started the gears turning in my head about him. He went against the advice of his advisors and picked a real, true, TEA Party Conservative. I don’t picture Mitt Romney as someone who can be pushed around.
I’m not saying he is, or ever was, my preferred candidate, but he IS a hardnosed businessman, one side of a two edged sword. Let’s see how well he wields it.

That is another good sign.

But I need more. I need something from Romney (or a very highly-placed surrogate, so that Obama cannot run against the Tea Party) that this Rule went too sweeping, too far.

A good test as to where Romney stands?
Boehner is no longer Speaker in 2013.
