Dizzying Transition Underway For VP Pick Paul Ryan, Dan Senor Working With Him Full Time

WASHINGTON — Paul Ryan was in a Fairfield Inn in coastal North Carolina last Friday night, eating takeout food from Applebee’s in one of his last meals as an unknown to most Americans.

Ryan also has significant ground to make up on foreign policy. He has been on at least nine trips abroad, visiting at least 21 countries, according to a preliminary list from campaign officials and a Globe review of congressional records.

To help out, Dan Senor, one of Romney’s foreign policy advisers, is working with Ryan full time.

what happened with Bishop Romney? His embarrassing international spectacles a few weeks ago doesn't speak well of Mr. Senor's training skills.

Can Paul Ryan see Russia from his house?
