In Norfolk, VA. Makes me think it's McDonnell, but who knows.
 
Yeah, just read about a plane itinerary from Janesville to Boston. How very Packpride-esque. I'm hoping it's Rubio, but you're probably right.
 
What this does mean is that Romney now has one substantive piece of policy to run on - The Ryan Budget.

NBC News says Paul Ryan.

A last second leak from the Romney campaign, after being so disciplined for so long? That makes me think misdirection. Not to mention the obvious intimation with the USS Wisconsin. But now I'm just overthinking it. We'll see in the morning.

He changed his mind on his commitment to secrecy, at least he's consistent.

I mean, they broke into prime-time TV coverage here on the West Coast with reports from Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell. It's Ryan.
 
I suspect there will be a hard push to the right on social issues to make Catholics balk at their opposition to the Ryan budget.
 
Aircraft carrier announcement. Jim Webb. That would shake things up.

he should pick a moderate like rj karl. that would be a solid ticket.
 
You're right. I'm the only one who thinks Ryan's plan is well out of the mainstream:


"I don't think right-wing social engineering is any more desirable than left-wing social engineering," Gingrich said on "Meet the Press" in May. "I don't think imposing radical change from the right or the left is a very good way for a free society to operate."
 
Romney 2.0 picks Romney 1.0 for his VP!!!!!
 
It's a bummer to have not picked Ryan at Intrade yesterday. You would have made about 7/2 (bet $2200 to win $10,000).
