We didn't make it to the Manassas rally yesterday but Stacy McCain was there:
The next polls you see out of Virginia . . . Well, look, the “gender gap” will evaporate instantly now that Paul Ryan’s on the ticket. Trust me on this — chicks dig him. It was like Sinatra with a crowd of bobby soxers at the Paramount in 1944. Elvis at the Overton Park bandshell in Memphis in 1956. Total swoonsville. As I explained it on Twitter:
By all accounts, the crowd was large and enthusiastic:
By the way, when was Andrea Mitchell appointed the spokesperson for suburban moms? Doug Powers:
After Mitt Romney announced his choice of Paul Ryan today, NBC Chief White HouseAnd then Doug goes there:SpokeswomanCorrespondent Andrea Mitchell took the the baton handoff from the Obama administration for her leg of the “war on women” relay:
Andrea Mitchell loses her voice while reacting to the Paul Ryan speech: “This is a base election. This is not a pick for suburban moms, this is not a pick for women.”
Hey, if women don’t mind Mrs. Alan Greenspan speaking on their behalf about what they find appealing, that’s their business, but I think many of them will object.Oh dear. Well, there's no accounting for taste. But it's easy to explain why Paul Ryan is a great choice. Stacy quotes Michelle Malkin and it's worth repeating here:
Paul Ryan is fresh, young, energetic, smart, courageous, and ready for prime time.And Ryan gets the urgency of our fiscal crisis. He needs to hammer on that from now until November 6th.
Paul Ryan is a policy wonk AND a front-line warrior whose budget and long-term entitlement reforms have the entire Dem-Soros-lapdog media machine unhinged.
Paul Ryan is ready to fight false media narratives.
Paul Ryan is battle-tested against the White House.
Paul Ryan won’t cut and run when the going gets tough.

Many thanks to Michelle Malkin for the link.

I get the swoon factor, I married a blue eyed guy with dark hair!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, what a pick! Instantly flanking the Dems by nominating a VP who has proven he will make every effort to reform our broken entitlement system before it is crushed under the weight of unsustainability! I could not be happier with Romney's choice!
This is a serious ticket.
TexasMom2012 86 days and counting!
The trouble, as I said on my blog (which is now back up after being spammed. Lost a lot of data and have to rebuild it) Ryan is too white bread. This is NOT your daddy's America. Obama is smart in pushing for the Hispanic vote, that he'll get. They are the new American special interest voting bloc. He'll get black, a large percentage of the Hispanics, special interest groups, unions, and anything he can fake or steal.
ReplyDeleteRubio would have dropped kicked Obama's advantage with the Hispanics. And both he and Ryan can speak far better than Romney about the glory of America.
That said, I like Ryan. I just think the days of white/white on the ticket are gone. It is Obama's nation. The great melting pot that is no longer dominated by the "establishment".
