The supposed Ryan plane, as cinyc noted, travels to Janesville regularly anyway, and more importantly, is still in Wisconsin. But as far as I can see the only suspicious private plane to Hampton Roads today is...

One side of me says this plane stuff is crazy. But another side of me says - it's gotta be Christie, and this Ryan stuff is all a head fake.

Isn't it hard to sneak Christie places without being seen, or having his gravity detected.

But seriously, jmcrst did predict Palin based upon a plane.

All these Ryan leaks are seeming... rather coordinated.

There's only two I believe. It's just being stated by everyone.

Yeah, I'm getting a little suspicious...then again, I can't conceive the Romney camp actually masterfully executing anything so I'm not so sure it's faked either...
You're on to something Hagrid. There's no way that even the most uncoordinated campaign since Dukakis would let their most important decision leak like that. And to everyone.

Wasn't McCain's Veep supposed to be Lieberman but his advisors wanted a right-winger? Although I dunno if it was leaked as Lieberman before hand...

(and before people say that Lieberman is a right-winger, on non-foreign matters he isn't even a moderate)

it is rather odd for them to release it this early, if ryan is indeed the pick.

Ryan? Wow, I might have to change my signature. Obama may be mediocre, but Romney/Ryan just sounds like a losing ticket to me.

He isn't a moderate, he is a conservative.

It's not odd at all.  Obama's choice of Biden leaked around midnight on the night before he was officially announced.  Then at like 5am or so, Obama finally announced it by text message to his supporters, and then a few hours later, introduced his choice in person.

McCain wanted Lieberman, but a younger staffer was dead set on Palin for a while and convinced the team to look over her. Obviously McCain picking an independent would cause conservative to not show up.

If they wanted this picked up though to be a decoy, someone would have nudged a reporter in this direction. Everyone's looked at Wisconsin flight planes, but the world has forgotten Romney might have an ounce of reason not to pick a clone of himself. Then again we may all just be insane politicos

Sigh, we only can hope it actually does end up being Christie and that the power of the plane tracking works once again!

What if it's some kind of trick? I mean Paul Ryan sounds like the kind of guy who wouldn't want to be VP even if his life depended on it.

Yeah, multiple confirmations now.  Time to lock this thread, and turn discussions over to the Romney/Ryan thread.
