I totally disagree. 0bama’s theft of $500 million from Medicare to fund 0bamacare was a bigger knife in Senior’s backs. That more than offset any perceived damage from Ryan’s plan. You’re correct about ‘perception’ because of the 0bamaMedia, but the fact is 0bama will plunge a huge knife right into the backs of seniors through ‘death panels’. Unfortunately and by design, that won’t be realized until AFTER the election.

A Ryan choice is a top-shelf selection, but he is not going to cause a significant voting bloc to switch choices. He will give the voters who were going to vote for Romney anyway a new reason to feel better about their choice. Rubio or West, on the other hand, just might bring new voters into the fold.

Welcome to the age of identity politics, like it or not.
