The Koch Bros. have spoken. "no more money unless you pick Ryan".

They will put their money where their mouth is, and since money is the mother's milk of politics, adding in Citizens United as the guarantee, the Kock Bros will tap into their bottomless supply.

I have no doubt the Koch Bros have the power to thumbs down anyone who doesn't tow the tea-party line.

If anything it seems a bit of an indulgence. It's too preferable and not political enough.

Like Palin, I think this was the Party's idea not Romney's. Another "bold move" that's going to blow up in their faces.
