Who's going to control the message, Romney or Ryan?

Romney flips positions mid-sentence and stutters and stammers his way through buying "hardware stuff", but Ryan is always on message (be it a crazy, Ayn Rand backed, senior-starving message).

Who's going to control the message, the guy who invented Obamacare or the guy who's budget guts healthcare?

Tweedle Dum or Tweedle Mean?

I think Mitt will come to regret his choice very soon.

Will Ryan replace Romney at the convention?

Will the Party nominate someone else altogether?


Stay tuned, excitement to come.

Romney will not allow himself to be undermined.

That's why his first action after picking Ryan was to say he doesn't support his budget.

This is why the GOP will turn on Romney. The TeaParty has taken control of the Platform and Romney won't step in line.

...it will all be scripted. Ya know little ear buds that allow "correct responses" to be heard instantly. Am sorry, but when you mix all the ingredients the first guarantee is "underhandedness".

Still I find it kind of sad that Mitt The Twit is giddy, its like watching a young boy with his first crush/love interest. Rapid pulse, dilated pupils, "spontaneous" speech patterns. Sad.
