Norfolking way could Obama be this lucky. Could he?
Tomorrow morning at 9 AM ET in Norfolk, Virginia, Mitt Romney will show us who is the real boss of his campaign when he announces his vice presidential selection. Most of the buzz is focusing on Paul Ryan, but you have to figure that if it's not Paul Ryan, it will definitely be someone who excites conservatives. The prospects who would seem to fit that description are Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, and Bobby Jindal. So, what's your bet?

If Ryan is the running mate, GOP had better hope for very, very, very low turnout among under-55s.

And over-55s too. They don't want to be the last generation with Medicare.

If it's Ryan it'll be the 2nd consecutive veep pick lobbied for, successfully, by Bill Kristol.

My Romney VP app vibrating madly and flashing pictures of Medicare logo with red X's over it. Possible sign.

NBC News: Sources indicate Rep. Paul Ryan is the VP choice.

9:11 PM PT: Huffington Post is reporting that it's Ryan:
Mitt Romney will announce Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as his running mate on Saturday, according to two sources with knowledge of the decision.
Ryan is a bold pick who will energize the Republican Party, but putting him on the ticket is fraught with risk and instantly puts Ryan's budget plan front and center in the 2012 campaign.
