A New Veep Line Today - T-Paw, Portman, Paul Ryan - So he thinks it'll be a tall skinny white guy with dark hair, essentially. http://abcn.ws/PmRcLv

Karl: "Ryan is the dark horse here, dismissed by many as relatively inexperienced and tainted by his controversial "Path to Prosperity" budget, but Romney confidants tell me Romney thinks highly of Ryan and sees his budget plan as a positive, despite the predictable attacks that would come from Democrats. After all, those attacks will come anyway (Democrats already speak of the "Romney-Ryan Budget"). Picking Ryan for VP would put on the ticket the person best able to respond to those attacks. And get this: Some of Romney's political advisers believe Ryan could put Wisconsin in play, giving a Romney-Ryan ticket a chance of winning a state that hasn't voted for a Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan beat Walter Mondale in 1984. They point to a recent PPP poll that showed putting Ryan on the ticket cuts President Obama's lead in Wisconsin to a single point."

Ready for Rafalca? - In action tomorrow, reports Shush Walshe - Most Americans associate the Olympics with swimming and gymnastics and young, agile bodies, but at the Romney house, all the attention goes to a horse ridden by a 53-year-old man in a top hat and tails. The horse is named Rafalca. She's part-owned by Ann Romney. And the sport is dressage. http://abcn.ws/QfORa6

Olympic Tax Break - Sunlen Miller reports that Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., introduced a bill today in the Senate that would exempt U.S. Olympic medal winners from paying federal taxes on their medals and prize money earned in the Olympics. "Our tax code is a complicated and burdensome mess that too often punishes success, and the tax imposed on Olympic medal winners is a classic example of this madness," Rubio said in a paper statement today announcing his legislation. "Athletes representing our nation overseas in the Olympics shouldn't have to worry about an extra tax bill waiting for them back home." Under U.S. tax law, the athletes must add the value of their Olympic medals and prizes to their taxable income, and are taxed at a rate of 35% by the IRS. Americans for Tax Reform found that the value of a gold medal is about $675, meaning that an athlete could be on the hook for a $236 extra tax burden. http://abcn.ws/Qw7icO
