DULLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT -- He wore a T-shirt, blue jeans, sunglasses and a baseball cap as he slipped into Chicago O'Hare airport the morning of Sunday, Aug. 5. He made his way through security, hopped on a plane to Hartford, Conn., caught his connection to Boston, and ducked into a waiting SUV. Paul Ryan had gone unnoticed. Inside the SUV sat 19-year old Curt Myers, who drove Ryan to the Brookline, Mass., home of his mother, Beth Myers, the longtime aide to Mitt Romney overseeing the vetting process for potential running mates to the presumptive Republican nominee for president. That was just the first chapter of a cloak-and-dagger, Hollywood-style operation carried out by Myers and the Romney campaign to offer the job to the 42-year-old Republican congressman from Wisconsin, and then to announce him to supporters and the press, all without spoiling the surprise. Myers, a 55-year old lawyer and political operative, and her team were successful in keeping the identity of Romney's choice a secret into the late hours of Friday night, until news finally leaked out at midnight.
