Governor Romney has made an inspired choice. Paul Ryan will make an excellent running mate and, if elected, vice president. What is most gratifying about the decision is, however, what it says about Romney himself.

Game on!
Instead say how many MILLIONS of PEOPLE are UNEMPLOYED!!
Let's say it's 25 MILLION.....then they can say "That's the ENTIRE POPULATION of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakato (or any other states that would add up to 25 Million people, adults only).....can you IMAGINE ALL those people in ALL those STATES being out of work??? well, THAT"S how many 25 MILLION is!!"""
8..3% means NOTHING.....that percentage is what a lot of people pay in sales tax, and that doesn't stop anyone from buying a single thing........but 25 MILLION PEOPLE makes people GULP!
Shocked, surprised and thrilled.
Great choice Mitt!

Mitt made a bolder pick than I expected. Bravo Mitt! Everybody was saying that Mitt would play it safe. Ryan likes to debate and speak about how the real economy works, IMHO.
