Hey, Paul Ryan, you're just like me!

Hey, Paul Ryan, you're just like me!

Sen. John McCain said on Sunday that Mitt Romney's selection of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate reminded him of his own game-changing choice in 2008. Choosing Ryan was "a pretty bold choice," McCain said, just like his pick of Sarah Palin.

A "pretty bold choice."

Funny, because just a few short months ago, Romneyland had a plan to be anything but bold. Or anything like McCain:



Mitt Romney and his top aides are building a strategy, partly by design and partly because of circumstance, around what they consider John McCain’s disastrously run campaign in 2008. The strategy: whatever McCain did, do the opposite.

That Romney chucked the "incredibly boring white guy" strategy for a "bold" (read: desperate) choice—just like McCain made in 2008 when he picked half-time governor and full-time idiot Sarah Palin—tells you that Romney is just as scared now as McCain was in 2008 of having his ass delivered to him by Barack Obama.

And he should be. He definitely should be.
