Almost a week ago, Ryan snuck through Chicago's O'Hare airport in a baseball cap and sunglasses and flew to New England. A Romney adviser's 19-year-old son picked up Ryan and drove him to a private meeting in his parents' dining room where the deal was sealed.

All said yes. Everyone who was asked submitted detailed questionnaires and paperwork, including several years' worth of tax returns.

Ryan's family — his wife, Janna, and three children — left the funeral and were taken to the airport separately. Ryan, with a staffer, drove to his house. He walked in the front door and then out the back, crossing his backyard and walking through the woods that separate the house where he now lives from the home where he grew up.

His chief of staff had driven around the block and picked him up in the other house's driveway.

Ryan and his family flew from Waukegan, Ill., to Elizabeth City, N.C., where Myers' son again picked him up and drove him, this time to a Fairfield Inn. Ryan made some last-minute preparations to his speech, and met with Myers, strategist Ed Gillespie and aide Dan Senor. The campaign announced in a press release that the announcement would come Saturday morning.Beth Myers turned off her cell phone. The Ryan family went to sleep.

7. we can expect more shrouded secrecy if R&R are voted in - secret wars, torture, pollution...

It will all happen again, only worse this time as the Kocheads and Limpballs gain evermore power and money.

8. romney doesn't get it

Doesn't he realize that we the people of the United states would be his boss if he were president? More so than he would be the vp"s. boss. how dare he think that while he can see Ryan's taxes we can't see his. what arrogance

[tclambert]

9. Surely Romney wouldn't invade Ryan's privacy by demanding to see his tax returns!

10. making sure Ryan didn't pay too many taxes to be qualified to lead?

Because the more taxes you pay, obviously, the less qualified you are.
