For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Because he's announcing at the USS Wisconsin?Originally posted by YOhio View PostMSNBC is saying its Paul Ryan.
I would not be upset with a Ryan pick. I don't think any of the known potential VPs would disappoint me though. Maybe Portman. But really he has lots of solid potential running mates."Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic

Portman was my least favorite, just because he seemed safe. Also, ties to the Bush presidency might have been a hindrance. But he may have helped in Ohio. Though he would not be a bad choice at all. I don't think there is a bad choice among the frontrunners.Originally posted by YOhio View PostPortman was my favorite. But I'm also thrilled with Ryan."Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic

Ryan would not surprise me - look at the articles released in consecutive days leading up to the announcement:
On Thursday from the Weekly Standard:
It's the Romney-Ryan Plan; Why Not Romney-Ryan Ticket?
By Stephen F. Hayes and William Kristol
On Friday from the New York Post:
Don't Fear Paul Ryan
By Rich Lowry
I could definitely see the campaign asking conservative opinion columnists for some positive coverage on Ryan leading up to the announcement. I don't expect that they would bait and switch them."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

He'll excite/reassure the base, I guess. And he's a very smart guy, very articulate. If Mitt can manage to make the campaign about fixing the economy, Ryan will be an excellent spokesman. During the vice presidential debate, people will want to avert their eyes as Ryan beclowns Joe Biden.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”
― W.H. Auden
"God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."
