Obamacare Makes Vice President Ryan Possible
Romney has been hinting at this message for some time: Under the presidency of Barack Obama, the United States has fallen into decline. The entitlement problem hasn't just remained the same; the problems have been exacerbated.
The country needs real changes to restore American greatness. A vote for Obama-Biden is a vote for unsustainability. A vote for Romney-Ryan is a vote for change, and therefore hope that America's best days are ahead. Or, we might say, Team Romney is all about hope and change -- a campaign theme that is known to work rather well!
Romney has not fully developed this argument yet -- and for good reason, since it is still the summer and voters aren't yet paying too close attention. The full deployment of Romney's message begins at the convention, as this is the time the swing vote is going to start paying attention.
Ultimately, Ryan advances this message, and with Obamacare messing with entitlements, and with Republicans pledging sustainable reforms, picking the intellectual leader of the Republican party was a smart move.
