Erick Erickson: Paul Ryan was a good pick, GOP convention will be 'carefully orchestrated'
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will be the keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention later this month. Christie, himself, revealed the news in an interview with the "USA Today." He says his speech will focus more on the case of electing Mitt Romney rather than the case against President Obama.
Also new this morning, Republican rising star and Florida senator Marco Rubio will be introducing Mitt Romney at the convention when Romney formally accepts the party's nomination. He was also in the vetting process for vice president before Paul Ryan became the pick.
On the trail, it's day two all alone for VP candidate Rep. Paul Ryan, as he tries to convert the positive Republican reaction to this election into votes. Today, Ryan will campaign in Colorado after spending yesterday at the Iowa State Fair.
CNN contributor and RedState.com editor in chief Erick Erickson was among the first that suggested Paul Ryan be Mitt Romney's pick. He explains this morning why he thinks Paul Ryan was a good pick by Romney for vice president, and why he thinks the Republican convention will be 'carefully orchestrated.'

Didn't realize Erick Erickson was such a Dough Boy.....almost marshmallow looking like Rove
that he would like to take Ron Paul and put him in Romney's body in other words he actually does agree with Ron Paul but elquneoce and looks are more important than the message.How many Prophets struggled with being able to deliver the message with elquneoce? Moses, was given Aaron for this very reason. Is the message any less true because its deliverance doesn't tickle the ears? I wish that people could get past needing elquneoce and be more worried about the message.
