Ignore the liberal media’s all too predictable gnashing of teeth over the prospect of Paul Ryan joining Mitt Romney on the GOP ticket – the approval rating that truly matters in a campaign came through loud and clear for Team Romney – millions of dollars in online contributions following the announcement.
EXCERPT:
- Donors: over 41,000
- Average donation: $85
- Website visits: 700,000
The campaign saw an interesting phenomenon after the Ryan announcement. Over 30% of the visits came from mobile devices, something the source tells me the campaign has never seen before in this cycle. It shows that the selection of Ryan may have some significant upside among younger voters who may relate more to Ryan than to Obama, Joe Biden, and the administration that has cratered job prospects for this demographic over the last three years.

The campaign has a new web video out today featuring the newest team member and his introductory speech:
Now the entire country knows what it feels like to be held hostage…and to hear that Help Is On The Way…our Patti Hearst time of confinement, torture and abuse is coming to an end…yes Help Is On The Way
Go Romney Ryan…our hope… our future…our FREEDOM
Interesting comparison to the Patti Hearst hostage kidnapping by the SLA. Weren’t they a left-leaning socialist-criminal group akin to the Weather Underground and Black Panthers?
I like the 3 R’s: Romney, Ryan and Restore America!
I believe it has to be 4 R’s, Romney, Ryan, Restore, RESULTS! It was a slick ad, well made and put together very quickly. Almost to quickly… My concern is that Barry in 2008 also dazzled the sheeple with slick ads and look how we’ve paid the price.
What we don’t need is another Wall Street “Super Pirate”. I guess we’ll just have to see… I’m on my knees praying for Romney, Ryan, and our Republic…
@Perceptible Future –
“I’m on my knees praying for Romney, Ryan, and our Republic…”
I pray a lot. I’ve always prayed a lot. But, starting TODAY, I will be on my knees when I do!
Great vid!
GET THIS DONE!!!! That’s all we need to know.
R&R 2012!
The LEFTISTS long knives are outr today after the shock and awe of yesterday, remember the LEFTISTS always telegraph who they FEAR!!!!
BTW: did anyone see the story of how the campaign hid the Ryan pick for a week from the media???? Need I say anymore about the legacy media’s own demies into irrelevance?? We do not have a media or a 4th estate, we have stenographers who take dictation from the LEFT!!
Did not see the story. Please post a link!!! You seem to have a knack for finding the interesting and informative links! Thanks in advance!
Ska-roooo the Lefitsts! Of course they’ll try a bunch of shenanigans. But they will FAIL. To borrow from Martin Luther King, “WE SHALL OVERCOME”.
Every building begins with laying that first brick on a solid foundation. Go Romney and Ryan!
The funny thing is, the press has already thrown as much monkey doo as they can find at Ryan. There’s nothing there to rip. He’s been vetted.
Meanwhile, speaking about being vetted, we still don’t know exactly what’s in the Worst President’s college portfolio, anymore than we know what’s in Nancy Pelosi’s income tax returns. What percentage of her Visa windfall did she pay taxes on?
Ryan is going to be popular in ways the press never conceived of: even his workout regimen is totally cool (P90X) And he has something (or things) of great value that not one person in the current administration has even a hint of: Honesty. Integrity. Decency.
The press is wailing: “You were supposed to choose someone we could ridicule!”
My husband and I took our regular Sunday drive through several neighborhoods today. For the first time this election cycle we saw political signs in yards. We kept count and Romney was up by 3. We live in an important swing state. Yesterday a friend called from California. She was so happy with the Ryan pick she was practically screaming with excitement. A month ago she was despondent. This is not scientific proof of anything, and I know the election will be a tough one, but I’ve always believed the final electoral college map might look like the Reagan/Carter map if the GOP brings their best game. So I say, Game on!
Liz, it’s the same here. I’m on the MA/NH border and Romney lawn signs are popping up in both states; I’ve yet to see an Obama sign on anyone’s property.
MA will go Dem (as always), but my town (population ~30,000) always votes Republican. There really are some ‘pockets of resistance’ in moonbat MA.
I’m hoping the trend will continue.
R&R need to take the gloves off NOW and hit the bastids with everything they’ve got; this isn’t just another election, and they know it….
Yesterday I replied to SueK’s first comment. My reply was “From your lips to God’s ear”. That comment is now gone.
What is going on? Will someone please explain to me why my comments keep disappearing within hours of being posted?
Air Force Brat – your post is still the second post under the UM’s “The Photos That Now Keep Obama – Biden Up At Night…” article.
