Why would Ryan be campaigning in Atlanta?

[Jersey Devil]

Heard aTweety say he was in Georgia today. Makes no sense whatsoever to me.

[yourout]

1. Hmm....bible thumping Republican Male in a state without an obvious reason...

to be there.
If I was his Mrs I might think he was up to something.

[CurtEastPoint]

2. Yesterday, 600 people at fundraiser. And f'ing up ATL rush hour traffic.

[Jersey Devil]

4. Must have been some big time high rollers there

to take him off the campaign trail to solid red state

[smorkingapple]

3. Fund raising for down ticket maybe?

I don't get that either. Either they know something we don't about Romney leading, or they know it's already lost and it's time to save the downballot races as much as possible.

5. He's also in Alabama--I have a theory

Romney knows he will not win the electoral vote so they will try to make the president's victory less legitamite if they can roll up huge margins in the south and win the popular vote. I think it's unlikely they will, but I can see them trying to do that.

6. Romney team doesn't want him to go screw anything up in a swing state?

[flamingdem]

8. this

he can't risk Ryan jumping a soup kitchen again!

[alsame]

7. I heard he was supposed to hold a conference with

Ralph Reed but it was rescheduled, probably because they didn't want Mourdock questions.

[Lucinda]

9. Making contacts for 2016

Cant think of any reason to do it for this election. Unless they are really hurting for money.

[Hoyt]

10. Because he can draw enough bigots there with money to "contribute."

[Bad Thoughts]

11. Recruit volunteers to go to Florida. eom.

[Calypso0956]

12. Debate trauma~

Maybe he thinks it's safe to come out of hiding from heavy weight Joe Biden

[IowaGuy]

13. Don't Koch Bros have a paper mill there?

[underpants]

14. Excuse for a fundraiser...OR they are worried about Georgia

their have been some hints about Georgia being close and Arizona .....they may have fallen for the trap and sent him to GA because they are believing what they are reading.

[RichGirl]

15. Campaigns have internal polls....

That are much more accurate than anything we see.

[meow2u3]

16. One of two reasons, neither of them moral

Either the Rmoney/rAyn ticket is looking to win the popular vote so they can call Obama an illegitimate President, or they're recruting thugs to intimidate voters in swing states.

17. Check this article and read comments for more theories

18. Now's the time to fundraise...why? I'll tell you:

Now's the time to fundraise...why? I'll tell you:

Romney's going down. When the campaign's over, every dollar he's sitting on can be sent to "consulting firms" and the like. And guess who can be sitting on those firms? If you guessed "the Romney family" ding-ding-ding you win!

Romney's ready to Bain his campaign. Take something, destroy it, then funnel every dime he can out of it and into his own pockets.

He's terrible at being a human being, but awesome at being a greedy asshole.

[RomneyLies]

19. Fund raising

Plus building bridges to 2016.

[Maximumnegro]

20. Romney is broke

I posted an article in another thread. Romney's campaign is broke and is pushing for donors to cough up more.

[applegrove]

21. Because Moderate Mitt can't be Moderate Mitt with Rand/Ryan hanging around the swing states.
