"The Obama campaign was playing it cool on Friday night, refusing to comment on the Ryan move. People close to the campaign praised Ryan’s youth, energy and smarts but said that the pick was roughly a wash — and would have a less significant impact on the race than if Romney had tapped Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who would have made a play for Hispanic votes.
Whether that was caution or reflected their true sentiment, other Democrats were thrilled: No single pick Romney could have made had more power to mobilize the conservatives or unite liberals, who view Ryan as the philosophical front man for a movement to transfer entitlement spending for the poor and working class back to the wealthy.
“If it’s really Ryan, Romney will have picked one of the only people who could have had an impact in the race. But, not the way he wants,” tweeted Bill Burton, one of the co-founders of Priorities USA Action, a pro-Obama super PAC.
