(CNN) -- In picking Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney demonstrated what kind of businessman he has been and what kind of leader he wants to be. He didn't pick a running mate to help him make the political "sale." He picked a vice president to help him fix the nation's business, our broken economy.

Until this moment, Mitt Romney, like President Obama, had been playing small ball. The optimistic entrepreneur with the reputation for bringing disruptive, transformative change to the business world had not been leading, only playing it safe. As a result, he was missing two things from his campaign: He had not shown voters he had the strength to be president nor a vision that would bring change.

Now Romney has demonstrated both. This is a bold, not cautious move. And the choice of Ryan shouts that Washington better get ready for something different: Ryan is not a man of the status quo. He's the living embodiment of what comes next.


By choosing Ryan, Romney reveals he wants to change the politics, not of the last four years, but of the last 12. The message here is that Washington is not going to grow under the watch of these two men. Washington's economy is not going to get fatter in a Romney-Ryan administration, as it has under our last two presidents.

Mitt Romney, a vacillating, elite manager of the establishment's status quo? No more. Barack Obama is now running against a bold leader with a populist agenda to bring change to Washington, shrink our debt and grow our economy

10. Thanks, I could always use a good laugh!

I wonder if Castellanos actually believes any of the ridiculous fiction he writes, as it has absolutely nothing in common with reality.

Anything but his taxes.. Anything!

13. He's the living embodiment of a hypocrite

A man who takes and utilizes social programs when they benefit him, but begrudges anyone else using them, calling them superfluous.
