Ryan announces Romney as his running mate.

Romney can now keep his taxes to himself and disappear behind the curtain because all the attention will turn to Ryan now.

When they vote, they will be voting for Ayn ... I mean Ryan, as president, not Romney.

What a way to run a country.

This "announcement" is like a Friday evening document dump.
