It's only been a matter of hours since the much anticipated announcement from the Romney campaign that Paul Ryan is his running mate in November, and it's already paid off in a big way. Romney press sectary Andrea Saul says they've already raised $1.2 million.
We speculated that Mitt's veep announcement probably wouldn't pay off in terms of dollars and cents, but that was when the popular potentials were being listed as Rob Portman, Tim Pawlenty and Bobby Jindal. A Ryan nomination is completely different, as the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza speculated a few hours ago. Ryan's hugely popular with big donors in New York City.
Whether they'll approach the $4.2 million the campaign raised in the 24 hours after the health care ruling remains to be seen, but they're already over 25 percent of that day's haul. All signs are pointing towards another slow month for the Romney fundraising team.
