Obama’s oppo research team have got to be rubbing their hands with glee this morning.

The myth of Ryan as a ‘thoughtful conservative’ will be shattered within a week. Gonna be a long summer for the GOP ticket.

I’m sure you’re right that Dems are happy about the selection. Democrats were also very pleased when Reagan was the nominee for the 1980 election. But this selection makes the election about important budget and fiscal issues rather than whether Romney killed some lady with cancer, spends too much on his horse, or mistreats his dog. If the GOP has such a bad platform, then you should be happy that Romney is going to actually run on it. Whoever wins, so be it. That’s what elections are for.
