Mark’s Reaction to the Paul Ryan Pick
From Producer Susan: If you can’t wait until next week to hear what Mark thinks about Romney’s VP pick of Paul Ryan, below is a chronological account of his tweets from the morning of the announcement as the Romney/Ryan ticket debuted aboard the USS Wisconsin:

Mark and Congressman Paul Ryan in 2011
- Democrats “thrilled” by Ryan pick? Really? Be careful what you wish for, my friends. Google Ryan owning Obama at budget town hall
- Ryan is NOT a one-trick pony. Sharp on foreign policy, social issues. And a great sense of humor lies beneath that budget wonk exterior
- First running mate who is a big Zeppelin fan. Except maybe Agnew, I’d have to check
- Everybody shut up about no Romney/Ryan signs. No McCain/Palin signs for her announcement. Not “official” til nominee says the words.
- He just said the words. I do indeed have some degree of goose bumps. Not Rubio/Christie goosebumps, but enough
- Nod to pro-life! Very good. Mormon-Catholic ticket, pretty wild, isn’t it?
- Say “welfare” every 30 seconds. It resonates.
- Repeal and replace! SWEEEEEEEET.
- Someone in crowd just yells “Obamaloney!” Stop it
- WOOPS Next President Paul Ryan!
- He meant after him, of course. #46
- What, no tie? Slacker
- Nice recovery by Romney, he should have used my line. “I meant after me.”
- Something else to love: Ryan’s middle name. Davis. Called “P.D.” as a kid. Hated it.
- In support, I will paint on a widow’s peak for my next TV appearance.
- “Our rights come from nature and God…” Very founding fathers, but also a little Wiccan
- Let it be clear that I love Sarah Palin. But please join me in celebrating a campaign free of stress during running mate TV interviews
- Ryan night, Wednesday night, August 29 in Tampa will be a rock show. Cant wait
- Nice wrap up, nice finishing theme. GET. THIS. DONE.
- We may have seen today the men who will take the presidency to Jan 20, 2029.
- Beautiful families, nice pic. NOW they can print Romney/Ryan signs.
- Jim DeMint line: After Obama, “America needs a little R and R.”
- Ryan will not fire up the base as Palin did, but nor will he take us on a white-knuckle ride (he says with all love and deference)
- Ryan at 42 would not be youngest VP. Quayle was 41, Nixon (who always seemed 60) was actually 40
- So Dems will attack Ryan on conservative budget plan. And what running mate would NOT have faced that attack? Calm down.
- Left’s “glee” over Ryan is truly funny. Honest libs know he is a great pick for Romney and a serious impediment to Obamas selection.
