In the immediate aftermath of the Ryan announcement, some analyses indicated that, if enacted, the tax portion of the Ryan plan would mean that Romney would pay no federal taxes whatsoever. That's a PR nightmare for the Romney campaign that obviously wants to change the story away from Romney's taxes because of the damage it has done to the campaign in recent weeks. Now, instead of changing the Romney tax story, Ryan is far more likely to reinvigorate it or, in journalistic terms, give it "legs."
