Do we want to continue to do the same thing every time and get the same results? The 2012 election cycle is not just any cycle. It may be the last time we can save this nation. Ryan really does have fresh ideas and is uniquely suited to debate the Dems on the issues, especially those having to do with fiscal issues.
Barbour is part of the Rep establishment. Grover Norquist is a big supporter of his. Barbour is term limited so he is obvioulsy looking for his next job.
He's a fine asset, but let's get real: no Congressman is going to win the nod. Not mine, not yours, not Ryan. it's not going to happen.
He need to run for Senate or Governor. Then he'll be a realistic choice.
I ain't the one writing reality's script, my FRiend. It may suck, but it's the way it is.
