Something fucky with McNoName, Romney, & Ryan - Bain Capital, etc…. I know we covered this, but it may be time for e refresher.
Like John McCain four years before, Romney desperately needed a vice-presidential pick that would change the game.
But where McCain bet on a combustive mix of clueless novelty and suburban sexual tension named Sarah Palin,
Romney bet on an idea. He said as much when he unveiled his choice of Ryan, the author of a hair-raising budget-cutting plan best known for its willingness to slash the sacred cows of Medicare and Medicaid.
“Paul Ryan has become an intellectual leader of the Republican Party,” Romney told frenzied Republican supporters in Norfolk, Virginia, standing before the reliably jingoistic backdrop of a floating warship.
“He understands the fiscal challenges facing America: our exploding deficits and crushing debt.”
