Today, four days before the election, Paul Ryan told a crowd assembled on an airport tarmac that he could "smell success." And the crowd roared.
The smell, in fact, was that of cow manure, or something that smelled an awful lot like it. The tarmac is nestled in the mountains here, and as it became more and more overpowering, and as Ryan was more and more intently describing his running mate's business credentials, the VP contender paused, took a deep whiff and said, "I can smell success right now.
"That's the smell of success isn't it? That's the smell of progress. I love that smell, it makes me feel at home," Ryan said.
It's the final push to Tuesday, and Ryan was hitting the president on this morning's October jobs report, noting that the unemployment rate ticked up slightly. But he didn't mention that additional jobs were created, more than economists predicted.
