We see that strategy in the Obama campaign’s charge that Romney potentially committed a “felony” in his SEC filings on his tenure at Bain Capital; in Harry Reid’s baseless claim that Romney paid no taxes for ten years; and in last week’s scurrilous ad charging that Romney killed a woman. Obama and his Democratic supporters know that millions of Americans are ready to make a change and are working tirelessly to demagogue and discredit the Romney ticket.

. . . Conservatives love Ryan for his courage in presenting bold solutions to our nation’s fiscal problems. They bonded with him when he came under withering attack from the left for doing so — and were deeply impressed with his eloquence in defending his ideas on the national stage. They have seen Ryan go head-to-head with President Obama and win — and are looking forward to seeing him do it again this fall.
