The irony is that this ticket is a reverse of Reagan / Bush I.
This is assuming a lot: If we can get through 2 terms of Romney (with Ryan and the Tea Party keeping Mitt from straying off the reservation), then 2 terms of Ryan could be a fantastic bookend to the 1980’s Reagan revolution.
I’ve been thinking the same thing. From here, 16 years of Republican presidents. And the irony that Obama — by his manifest failures — will have ushered in a new conservative renaissance.
