1. Is she pulling apart Medicare & Social Security?

piece by piece, senior by senior

She sure counts like a Republican!

2. At first I thought 'maybe', but after a few seconds of considering all we don't know about Romney...

and all we do about Romney and Ryan .... its perfect AND necessary.

3. can you elaborate?

Is it "the stakes are too high" message?

On Medicare?

4. Yes.

I meant that it allows Obama and the PACs to release very dramatic videos about a social safety net doomsday scenario. And they won't be exaggerating.

The way Rove packaged Bush was to portray him as a basically good guy you'd like to hang out with. A compassionate conservative. Picking Ryan eliminates that option for Romney. It leaves no doubt in anyone's mind what he's really about.

5. Got it and agreed

though I doubt anyone would've wanted to have a beer with Romney, even before Ryan.

6. They could run that verbatim with a minor modification at the end.
