Messing With Mittens

With the Olympics winding down and the Republican convention just over two weeks away, reporters, bloggers and pundits are amusing themselves playing the game known as "Veepstakes." A few posts ago I speculated that Tim Pawlenty and Rob Portman were the finalists, but this week there's been a  boomlet of support for Paul Ryan. Is he a legitimate candidate or are bored reporters just messing with Mitt's head for sport?

Republican blogger David Frum says neither - it's the conservative base trying to keep Romney, a candidate they don't love, in line.  Fascinating.
