The Boston Globe looks at potential veeps.
Nate Silver says veeps don’t make much of a difference in their home states.
RYAN: GOP 12’s Heinze notes that the video out today from the Obama campaign, tying Romney to Paul Ryan’s budget as it relates to student loans “is a great example of why Ryan would be a bad VP pick. As I wrote last week, Dems are already calling Paul's budget the Romney/Ryan budget and are going to try to stick everything Paul wants on Romney.”


The next president of the United States of America took the podium last night after winning five more primaries. He took the podium with a presidential tone and a presidential command. Mitt Romney has the experience to turn this country around from economic collapse. He doesn’t need to be a comedian. He doesn’t need to be “hip.” That hasn’t gotten this country very far when a desperate nation became enamored with the false promises and hypnotic tone of an inexperienced community organizer who is unscrupulously trying to divide America into class warfare because his record is a failure.
‘It’s still the economy… and we’re not stupid.’
‘Four years ago Barack Obama dazzled us in front of Greek columns with sweeping promises of hope and change,’ he said. ‘But after we came down to earth, after the celebration and parades, what do we have to show for three and a half years of President Obama?
‘Is it easier to make ends meet? Is it easier to sell your home or buy a new one? Have you saved what you needed for retirement? Are you making more in your job? Do you have a better chance to get a better job? Do you pay less at the pump?’
Promising that he knew ‘how to lead us out of this stagnant Obama economy and into a job-creating recovery’, he predicted ‘a campaign of diversions, distractions, and distortions’ over the next six months.
‘That kind of campaign may have worked at another place over in a different time. But not here and not now. It’s still about the economy …and we’re not stupid.’
He added: ‘Americans have always been eternal optimists, but over the last three and a half years, we have seen hopes and dreams diminished by false promises and weak leadership. Everywhere I go, Americans are tired of being tired.’

A BETTER AMERICA BEGAN LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!
ROMNEY 2012
A better America began last night.
For who? My answer the rich. You know all the folks, they are the ones who donate millions just for a tax break. These are the folks who don't care about anything but there bottom line. Remember if you make less than 250 thousand and you vote republican your voting against your beat interest!
My best interest is to get Obama out of the white house. It doe's not matter how much money a person makes to know that. He is a disgrace to the nation.
rukidding47 It doe's not matter how much money a person makes.
You must be rich or a fool. This is a typical right wing response. You right wingers are so predictable. LOL
The left wing nuts like to bash the Ryan Budget and the President campaigns against Ryan's budget. The Budget is going to pass, we all know that. However, where is the Senate democrats budget, they don't have one and refuse to even sit down with the House.
