Media Pwned By Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan Pick and Tricks

Read it all via ABC News. The media was just as fooled at the Ryan pick as they are today blathering on about potentially disastrous consequences from it. As with the reporters in front of Ryan's home, the press always thinks it knows things it doesn't know. This ticket can win with a winning message delivered to an electorate far from pleased with what's taken place in America over the last three years. The key will not be fighting with the media, but going around and over it directly to the people, just as all winning campaigns with an antagonistic press must do.

Mitt Romney decided on Paul Ryan on Aug. 1, the day after returning from his trip overseas to the Olympics in London and to Israel and Poland. The candidate and his campaign kept the secret for nine days, according to campaign sources. Romney and Ryan met secretly on August 5th, after the decision had been made and just before Romney submitted to round-the-clock coverage by reporters who had been traveling with him.

Then the body doubles pulled curtains closed, eliminating the silhouettes.

Throughout the morning there was no movement at the home. A few local police cars rolled by occasionally to gauge the press’s activities.

By this morning ABC’s Jon Karl confirmed Ryan was already in Virginia and the reporters in Wisconsin were eluded.
