Obama Team Salivates Over Ryan Pick
" Obama aides had been convinced that Romney would settle on former Minnesota
Gov. Tim Pawlenty. Again, fevered perceptions of rival campaign
weaknesses are just that. But they now believe Romney has used his
biggest choice of the campaign to drive home their central indictment of
his candidacy and his policies -- that they pose a threat to
middle-class livelihoods and aspirations.
In essence, Obama's entire campaign to date has been aimed at taking
economic doubts and worry -- which Romney has tried to pin on Obama --
and increasing them by portraying the GOP nominee as a predatory
capitalist indifferent to middle class suffering. They now believe Ryan
gives them a contemporary policy toehold in Washington to take that
argument from the distant past (Bain Capital) and make it a cutting
issue in Romney and Ryan's present-day campaign." [National Journal]
