Minutes after Paul Ryan was introduced as Mitt Romney's vice presidential nominee, Saturday, a sour Andrea Mitchell dismissed the choice: "This is not a pick for suburban moms. This is not a pick for women."
Playing off the GOP congressman's first speech as the presumptive nominee, Mitchell lectured, "I think that you're going to see that they [Team Romney] have decided that this is a base election." The liberal anchor for MSNBC worried that Ryan was "talking about what the base wants to hear." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Andrea Mitchell: Paul Ryan Isn't a Pick for Women
She said of his speech: "He talked about rights coming from God and they don't come from government."
A transcript of the August 11 exchange during live coverage is below:
9:52am EDT
ANDREA MITCHELL: I think that you're going to see that they've decided that this is a base election.
CHRIS HAYES: Yeah.
MITCHELL: This is not a pick for suburban moms. This is not a pick for women. This is a pick for the base.
A dude with his hand on his buckle, the middle one in a lavender shirt, and the third pitching a tent, what’s not to like?
A great line!
He’s a great pick for THIS suburban mom! Does Andrea Mitchell think that ALL women are supposed to think like SHE does? I certainly don’t!
The fact of the matter is that Romney could have picked Jesus Christ himself as his running mate and the Democrats and the liberal media would have opposition research ready at hand explaining the top 10 reasons why Romney’s running mate choice is bad for America.
And Joe Biteme, a man who lied about his wife being killed by a drunk driver, IS a dream date for women voters?!!
So if She thinks it is such a bad pick why is she whining about it? If she really thought it was a disastrous pick for VP she would be saying nothing and partying up after the newscast instead of chewing on her nails and then running them across the chalkboard...
PUHLEEEEZZE.

How much plastic surgery is too much?
Kevin,
I think that’s about right. I saw 2 different lines that each stretched for blocks. Plus hundreds of people in a grassy area across the train tracks where a large TV screen was set up. All kinds of people. Young, old , alone & in family groups. I saw someone waving a huge black and white flag with a picture of a cannon on it that said, “Come and take it!”
This reminded me of the Chick-Fil-A outpouring. Many people seemed visibly relieved to see the like-minded. People are quietly - and not so quietly - appalled at the threat to losing forever the America we loved under Reagan. Ryan is one of those, like Reagan, who is a decent man and a gifted communicator. He’s smart, but humble, and is fighting for the country, not his own power. Not qualities the GOP-E will ever understand, but the people at the rally did.
Julia moved into her parents basement under Obama.
She is a mumbling idiot.
It has become almost impossible for the Obama Media to present any kind of rational sounding defense for the Usurper but Andrea is one who keeps slogging away.
“This is not a pick for women. This is not a pick for suburban moms. This is a pick for the base.”
What the he** is she talking about? (I would bet that she’d be hard-pressed to explain what she means by that.)
IMHO
So is she disagreeing here or just stating a fact?
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why liberal women are usually ugly and conservative women are so beautiful.
Obviously their looks have something to do with their politics. The ugly ones come across mean, vulger and vindicitive. Need I say more?
