Nope. Perfect as is. The purpose of a VP is insurance. Think Obama is an incompetent fool? Kill him and get Biden. Think GW is too far right? Kill him and get Dick Cheney, the list goes on. Keep your scariest card in the hole.

The other way to think of the VP is as the on deck batter.

Once the current batter is done, the VP is the next up to the plate. One of the big knocks on Bush was by choosing Cheney he left the GOP win no on deck batter. Cheney age and health, plus his lack of interest in the job, meant we had no on deck leader once Bush was done.

Ryan is Romney's IOU to the conservative movement.

“Nope. Perfect as is. “

Agreed. I also would have rather had Cheney for pres instead of Bush.... I always thought Cheney was more intelligent and articulate. I think Ryan like Cheney will do the heavy lifting for the conservatives while Romney will provide political leadership and administrative smarts.

The best part here is that we have a “real” conservative, that is smart and articulate, primed for President that is young and doesn’t have a bad ticker.

Hopefully the Republicans will effect real change this time, and drive us to prosperity and ignore the wacko media.

That concept was explicitly played by the Clinton Administration in regards Gore and his idiocy...though there is now a horde that has forgotten and follows Gore as though he is some sort of sage.
