Except every sign points to an INCREASE in the Romney support as the base coalesces around him as was planned.
What many don't understand is Romney is a very, very successful business man and one thing a successful business must have is the ability to think both tactically and strategically. In the case of Ryan as his VP choice he has done both as it generated an instant charge to the campaign which the Left has been unable to diffuse. This is the tactical reason for the choice.
Strategically, the hoped for and I believe realized effect will be to carry the torch for reform in our quickly failing Social programs.
I don't know for sure of course who will win in Nov. At least not now but I do believe Ryan was not just a good choice but a brilliant one.
What YOU said - all of it.
Romney is a tried and true successful business man - that includes the ability to pick the right people for the right position - AND at the right time.
It was BRILLINAT to announce his pick a week BEFORE convention, not AT the convention.
This has resulted in a fire storm of publicity - and has energized the base while waking up the general public.
Then, before the feathers settle, comes the convention...FAr greater numbers will now watch -
Brilliant.
Also, his picking Ryan over a gender/ethnic/crucial state pick shows he has the smarts to place the right people in the right postion. That bodes well for who he puts into his cabinet.
We may just be able to stop this Scoialist/Muslim trainwreck afterall
