OK .. what are the downsides of Ryan? Would really like an informed opinion

He has never run a business. He has no executive experience, no state or local experience either. In fact, other than spending most of his adult life in the House he hasn't done a lot except work for relatives.

He's only 42. He never served his country.

His wife is a tax attorney.

His father (when Paul was 16), grandfather and great grandfather all died of heart attacks in their 50s.

He's been Obama's whipping boy since Republicans captured the House. He was "featured" throwing grandma over a cliff in a New York race over the Mediscare reform plan. This will not go over well in MUST WIN FL.

Neither man has foreign policy experience so Ryan offers nothing there.

He won't help Romney win Wisconsin.

Ryan is smart and articulate but lacks the kind of depth in experience you'd expect from a modern running mate.

If he's the choice, I'm baffled and I say this as someone who likes Paul Ryan.

“He never served his country” If you mean that he hasn’t served in the military, then I guess John Adams and Thomas Jefferson never served their country either. If it wasn’t for WWII, President Reagan would’ve never worn a uniform either.

If you’re someone who likes Paul Ryan, I’d hate to see your list if you didn’t like him ;)

He's only 42. He never served his country.”

ObaMugabe is going to attack Paul Ryan on Ryan not having executive experience and on not “having served his country” in the military?? Is this the same ObaMugabe who had ZERO executive experience when he was elected, and hasn't even come close to serving in the military and having anything to do with the military in his life , apart from trashing the military?

His wife is a tax attorney. “

Joke post?
Both ObaMugabe and his wife are lawyers, and ObaMugabe’s wife was actually BANNED frim practicing law, no?
I'd be very happy to see the RATS attack Paul Ryan because his wife is a tax lawyer.

His father (when Paul was 16), grandfather and great grandfather all died of heart attacks in their 50s.”

Huh?
ObaMugabe's daddy was a rake , and bigamist, a womanizer and serial maker of babies with different women and a drunk who died from a car accident while under the influence. Never stopped Obozo from wining. Don't let me start on BJ Clinton's daddy either.
Now if the Democrats want to make this about the fathers and grandfathers of the candidates, let them bring it on.

He's been Obama’s whipping boy since Republicans captured the House. He was “featured” throwing grandma over a cliff in a New York race over the Mediscare reform plan.”

New York is not America, and I live in New York.

Neither man has foreign policy experience so Ryan offers nothing there.”

You think Americans are worried about Foreign policy at a time when too many have been out of work for the longest time in like forever?
How much foreign policy expreince did “The Messiah” have when he was elected again? ZERO!

He won't help Romney win Wisconsin. “

Romney already had a very strong possibility of winning Wiscconsin thanks to Governor Walker and his stinging defeat of the RATS in that recall elections. Now Romney chances in Wisconsin just went even higher.

Ryan is smart and articulate but lacks the kind of depth in experience you'd expect from a modern running mate.

Nonsense!
