Short diary, but I didn't see this up anywhere. Short entry in Political Wire titled "Romney Family Overruled Advisors" (on the VP selection decision) almost made me ruin my keyboard. Only two paragraphs long, the second paragraph read:
"Romney, who has long trusted his wife's 'people instincts,' gave substantial weight to her endorsement, which, combined with his own personal preference for Ryan, was enough to overrule his advisers' concerns."
Now we for sure know who has Willard's ear on all the important campaign decisions. I assume I'm not the only one who finds it amusing and astonishing that Willard so highly values Annie's "people instincts". Damn, I'm looking forward to those debates where he won't be able to turn to Annie for that all-important advice. Stock up on popcorn, folks!
