Ryan seems to have fallen victim to circumstances he didnt quite foresee. The Romney campaign has spent the last several weeks practically daring the national press corps to call out its lies. Well beyond the usual exaggerations of a national campaign, Romney has built its entire message around two accusations you didnt build that and just send them a check that are obviously false. A day before Ryans speech, a Romney adviser told reporters, We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers. The media that had spent the last two and a half years nuzzling gently in Ryans lap had been prodded with sharp sticks and reacted in the predictable fashion, though probably not predictable to Ryan himself.
The consequence of an incompetent and grossly mismanaged campaign.
