Related: About this forumRyan 'Can Smell Success,' Or Is It Cow Manure?
"I'm a driver, I'm a winner; things are gonna change I can feel it."
Montrose, Colo. - Today, four days before the election, Paul Ryan told a crowd assembled on an airport tarmac that he could "smell success." And the crowd roared.
The smell, in fact, was that of cow manure, or something that smelled an awful lot like it. The tarmac is nestled in the mountains here, and as it became more and more overpowering, and as Ryan was more and more intently describing his running mate's business credentials, the VP contender paused, took a deep whiff and said, "I can smell success right now.
"That's the smell of success isn't it? That's the smell of progress. I love that smell, it makes me feel at home," Ryan said.
It's the final push to Tuesday, and Ryan was hitting the president on this morning's October jobs report, noting that the unemployment rate ticked up slightly. But he didn't mention that additional jobs were created, more than economists predicted.

Soon he'll have all the time in the world to enjoy cow shit.

the right wing pundits are already talking about what's ahead for the dear boy after he and Rmoney lose. Rachel M just gave it away. I'm still laughing.
