From Breitbart ~ Read the Signs
1. Ryan has surged on InTrade's prediction market in the past two days, making him the #1 contender ahead of Ohio Senator Rob Portman.

2. Ryan was on vacation in Colorado this week, but appeared at a memorial service today near Milwaukee for victims of Sunday's shootings at a Sikh temple...

3. ...and a mysterious charter plane from Boston to Ryan's hometown of Janesville, WI was reported this afternoon.

4. Breitbart News has learned that one major news network was alerting producers that Romney could announce his choice today...

5. ...and Romney is due to begin a bus tour tomorrow that will take him through several swing states--and which is thought to be a chance to showcase his running mate.

6. It is not unprecedented for campaigns to announce the candidate for Vice President on a Friday night. Barack Obama announced Joe Biden as his pick on a late Friday night/early Saturday morning in 2008.

7. Update: Tagg Romney was also in southwestern Wisconsin today--with Paul Ryan--to attend the Sikh memorial ceremony and represent his father.

Take note, veep watchers: Earlier today, a charter plane took off in Boston, stopped in Chicago, then flew to the tiny airport in Janesville, Wis. Janesville, of course, is the hometown of Representative Paul Ryan, a top vice-presidential contender. According to a source on the ground, the plane is still in Wisconsin.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, himself often mentioned as a top-tier candidate for vice president, today recommended Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan for the job.
Speaking this afternoon at RedState Gathering 2012 in Jacksonville, Fla., Jindal’s message of responsible spending and education reform had plenty of attendees sold on him as the vice presidential candidate.

Paul Ryan Is a Great Choice . . . By which I mean, Paul Ryan would be a terrible choice for vice president, so by all means, Mitt, proceed!
. . . Tapping Ryan would very unusual for the risk-averse Romney, but boy, if this is the one risk he decides to take, will it be revealing of his character and his priorities for the country. The one "bold" thing he does is aimed at pleasing Bill Kristol and 29 other Beltway insiders who want to privatize the universe. As the man once said, bring it on!

I’m almost hoping it is Paul Ryan. Number one, I would love to see a national referendum on this Medicare scheme Paul Ryan is pushing. Number two, if Paul Ryan is the vice presidential nominee … you will see Eddie Munster trend every day on Twitter until after Election Day!
