WaPo reports at 7:30 am Eastern Time, that it’s Ryan who will be the man running for VP slot with Romney. R-R, Rom and Rya. RR. Re Romney’s purported idea of ‘unveiling’ his veep choice at the site of the once fast-ship–the USS Wisconsin– who served well, but is now a mothballed and delisted military ship, the USS Wisconsin (now designated as a tourist attraction/ museum adding to the tax base) –well, perhaps a more vigorous, active ship of muscle and might could have been chosen… esp since our presidents are often spoken about as governing ‘the ship of state.’ The dynamics of a politically symbolic act re choosing this site to announce running mate, would have to be graded: weak. We shall see.
R-R, Rom and Rya, RR… whether that will be the sound of substance revving up , or whether it will be the sound of old wheels spinning in the water but not able to turn on a dime from the ballast… we shall see. They say Ryan is an intellectual. If that means teacher/educator… the voting masses could use factual education without spin. Again, we shall see.
Here is link to WaPo story.
The pix is of the USS Wisconsin from wikipedia commons, showing extreme damage when the USS Wisconsin, in 1956, ran into the Eaton by accident in a fog. She was put into dry dock then, repaired, as was the Eaton, and sent thither and yon til USS Wisconsin came to her current and final mooring place, no longer sailing the great seas of the world.
