The pick of Ryan shows that Team Romney thinks this election is more about turning out your base then convincing undecideds and indies, and they are probably right about that. The massive negative campaign is going to push down turnout. Obama won the summer by galvanizing his base. They must have made the calculation that the Ryan Budget is such catnip to the Dems, it will move the debate to that and away from Bain and taxes and they feel that debating the budget and debt is GOP turf so they benefit
It also looks like they have made the calculation that foreign policy/national security don't matter in this election. Or there is nothing they can do with a VP pick to help in that arena.
