So...anybody see the GOP Presidential candidate today? Didn't think so.

ABC News led with the effervescent Paul Ryan in Florida, spinning like a top about Medicare and hugging "Mom" and, uh, mentioned with a bit of a that Mitt was at "several fundraisers". It's as though he's hired Ryan to run for him. That's what you do, isn't it Mitt? Have your "people" do things?

Usually the vice president falls in line with the president's (or presidential candidate's) policies. But in this case everyone's been asking Romney whether he agrees with Paul Ryan's plans. (Not surprising since Romney apparently has no plans of his own.) Now Ryan is doing the campaign events and Romney is attending the "fundraisers."

doing a few family; we like u ops. Isn't it normal to have the 2 wander around for a week or so and then split up to campaign? I find it odd that they aren't glad handing together.

It's weird! But most things about rMoney seem odd.
