After choosing Privitizing Ryan, Florida spooks Romney out of making planned appearance there Monday

from Maggie Haberman at Politico: http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/08/a-view-of-ryan-from-florida-131855.html




Here's the front page of the Miami Herald today, with an unsubtle headline about what Paul Ryan could mean for Mitt Romney in a critical battleground.

It appears as Ryan's appearance in the state alongside Romney, planned for tomorrow, was redirected to Iowa.

Florida is a state where President Obama has struggled for a number of reasons, but Democrats believe - and some Republicans fear - that Ryan changes the dynamic.

Saw yesterday where he cancelled his Monday interview with PBD/Gwen Ifill, too.

Andrea Saul forced his hand and he made a middle-of-the-night panic move in announcing Ryan to the media at midnight.

. . . fear of the backlash from his ill-conceived pick of the granny-killer for his running mate
