on CNN now, the boy wonder is talking and I'm counting 3 African Americans

[a kennedy]

behind him in the crowd!! Is it wrong of me to wonder how much the double R campaign paid them to appear on that stage??

[Politicalboi]

1. No, I wonder that myself

Or they knew they were going to put in a place where they know they would be seen. What a great opportunity for someone to make Rmoney look dumber on the stage by taking off a light jacket and have a shirt under it that read in bold lettering "Where are your taxes".

You'll get your 15 minutes of fame without even opening your mouth.

2. Hey.. there is such a thing as a black Mormon, and hedge fund investors. let's not be hasty. n/t

3. Two of them are secret service agents, the other a paid "seat holder".

4. They searched hard and found them all

and then gave them "the best seats in the house", just behind the podium.

All well run campaigns do this, they want as diverse a crowd as possible in camera view behind the candidate. Dems will often feature guys from the union local in tee shirts, and a few gray haired whites when they are available.

Ryan does have a lame, Burt Ward-esque quality to him.
