Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

They broke into the 4x400 relay on NBC to announce it. So I assume it's not a joke.

Cash,

give me some analysis, why do you think this pick was so poor. I lack complete objectivity, so my reaction right now is a shrug, but I'd love to hear a more thoughtful reaction.

I don't think it's as bad as Palin--certainly Ryan has a lot of national fame. But he's very much on the hard-right side when it comes to fiscal issues, and he's a favorite among the Tea Party right.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ryan's a sure fire way to alienate senior voters. He's been booed by the elderly voters in his own district. His "budget" plan is sop for the Tea Party and Norquistites.

The fact that he collected social security as a teenager and used it to get through college and now wants to dismantle it is sweet, sweet irony.

Portman was a solid, conservative statesman. He is a HUGE republican fundraiser and has the respect of both parties in the house. He could have helped regain the trust of moderate republicans who voted for Obama.

His budget is a mess. Like it is not a serious budget at all. I'm not sure how his candidacy helps Romney except it might help bring the conservatives to the polls.

Thing is, I guess like Palin, it will bring the Democrats to the polls as well.

Get out of town. I did not know this.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I would very much like a lefty PAC to make commercial using video of the booing. and it should start airing the second the announcement is made.

Oh, man, the 4x100 relay was awesome.
