2. that was great! I will have to look

at it more.

Thought of another one:

Mitt on Ryan: "I like Paul. He's from Wisconsin, the state next to the state where the trees are the right height".

3. Ha! That said... why WAS it kept a big secret?

Seriously... just announce it. Who GIVES a sh*t Romney?

8. snicker

[oldhippydude]

9. actually that whole Isreal thing.... was about Adelson

[silvershadow]

10. I forgot about that already. And,

I made the original comment only half in jest. The other half of me sees it exactly that way.

5. That's ridiculous.

The RW was demanding that he pick Ryan. They're trying to give the impression that there was deliberation.

6. I

I keep hearing how Mitt kept this from the public,as if he was really clever. Um, I knew who he had picked Friday night at ten o'clock. He announced it the following day(Saturday) at 9:00AM. Someone please tell me how the Romney Campaign can gloat and pat themselves on the back for being so clever with this 'top secret' information? In 2008 we did not know who Obama or McCain was going to pick until an hour or so before the announcement. Either someone from the Romney campaigned leaked this or someone let it slip by accident.
