David Axelrod, a senior political adviser to President Obama, finds that Romney’s selection of Congressman Paul Ryan (and the excitement around it) is reminiscent of the McCain/Palin ticket in 2008. In an interview with CBS This Morning, he said that choosing Ryan, who, like Palin, is popular with tea party figures, is “not going to be a plus for Mr. Romney.” [Boston.com]
