Romney set to announce Ryan as VP tomorrow.

Multiple sources confirming. Ewwwww.

Ryan's tax plan:

However one feels about the "Roadmap" proposal, and people tend to feel rather strongly, there's no doubt about what it would entail. The top tax rates would be cut to 25 percent from 35 percent; all taxes on capital gains, interest, and stock dividends would be eliminated; and, most controversially, the Ryan plan would privatize Social Security and Medicare.

DH yelled at the TV "You interrupted the Olympics to tell us this? Who cares!!" lol.

I can't believe BO manipulated him into this.

I'll be completely honest - I have not been paying attention to possible VP picks good or bad.

Give me details.

He wants to abolish capital gains taxes ENTIRELY. He also wants to lower the tax rate to 25%. He's going to accomplish that by eliminating Medicare. Oh yes. The AARP will love this. Love this.

Best him up so hard in the last month - up 10% in the polls - he had to do something big. Which apparently equates to idiotic.

It's a choice born of desperation. Basically, he's pulling a McCain.

Still a weird one though, no? It plays to their base but will surely alienate the majority of moderates and independents.

Yes. And the base will not rise up for a Massachusettts Mormon. No matter who is VP is. Pure dumb. It's a hail mary.

Yay Obama 2012!!
