Does Paul Ryan increase enthusiasm/GOTV for Romney or Obama or both?

Paul Ryan, one heartbeat away from the presidency.  How freakin' scary is that?!  Then again, Joe Biden is currently one heartbeat away, so I guess you could say it can't get any worse.  Yada, yada, yada.

I don't know wtf is wrong with these people we nominate.  I've been singing Romney's praises for over a year.  Well, okay, I've been insulting him and belittling him and mocking him, but you know what I mean.  I liked Obama too.  Bush the Younger as well.  All of them were respectable, but they all managed to choose evil, incompetent, or dastardly men as their running mates.  There must be some magic, secret formula:  pick some total asshole buffoon for your running mate, 'cause you know it'll make you look good by comparison.

Oh, well.  I guess it could be worse.  At least he's not the Unibomber or Oprah Winfrey or something like that.

I was in the Obama office in York today.  Long story.  York's about 30 minutes west of here, deep in Mullet Country.  Never been to York before.  Certainly didn't intend to stop by the York County Obama HQ.  Anyway, they're pretty stoked there about the Ryan nomination.  The only campaign worker I talked to was one very flamboyant black dude, and he was all smiles and giggles about it.  Then again, he struck me as the giggling type, so it may not be a good barometer.  Still, my only data point says that the PA Democrats are lovin' it.
