REUTERS/Jason The Committee to End MedicareIf you want proof that the Romney campaign still hasn't figured out how to handle the Romney-Ryan Medicare plan, just check out what they've been saying over the past 72 hours:

Romney had barely walked off stage after announcing he'd picked Paul Ryan when his campaign said Romney would not be running on the Ryan plan.
In an interview with 60 Minutes, Romney said the election wouldn't be a referendum on the Ryan plan and that his plan wasn't the Ryan plan.
On Monday morning, Romney avoided talking about either his plan or the Ryan plan, instead attacking Obama for achieving $700 billion in Medicare savings ... even though Ryan supports those savings.
On Monday afternoon, Mitt Romney claimed the Romney-Ryan plan would expand Medicare, even though it would actually end it.
At the same press conference, Romney said he couldn't think of any differences between his plan and Ryan's plan.
On Tuesday Morning, Romney surrogate John Sununu claimed the Ryan and Romney plans were "very different."
Two hours later, a senior Romney adviser said Ryan and Romney were "100 percent on the same path" on Medicare.
If you know what they're going to say next, you've got a better imagination than me.
