We all thought Palin was the greatest choice ever made for a VP when McCain chose her. A successful Gov who did great things for Alaska, made REAL progress in getting rid of the “old boys network” there even though they were Republicans. I agreed with all she did and yet what happened?

She was annihilated by the media and yes McCain never fought back but my point is what we need is a candidate to better appeal to the base without the choice being to controversial and Ryan fits that criteria.

Face it, it wouldn't matter who the choice was they would be attacked and marginalized by the media and the libs who control the media. The big hit on Palin was she was “inexperienced”. Ryan has 14 years experience so that won't fly plus the image he portrays is one of a clean cut man with a beautiful family and to top it off a man who can speak intelligently on the issues.

He needs to get out there immediately and define himself before the sleaze on the Left do it for him. Romney has a ton of money which he cannot spend until the end of the Convention but the Super Pacs have raised a lot of cash and should be and probably are going to spend it talking about Romney and Ryan being the “Bring America Back” guys.

My 2 cents anyway.

I honestly don’t give a rat’s patootie what the disingenuous, biased media (DBM) says. I consider them to be almost always wrong or so overtly biased to the leftists that their “news” isn’t very newsworthy.

Romney isn’t the choice of the conservatives, he’s the choice of the RNC who shoved him down our throats because he’s beatable. Ryan is benign. He doesn’t excite the base the way that Sarah did and all he brings to Romney is a dead cat bounce.

He may be a good choice for the moderates but, overall, when you look closely at the “team” of Romney-Ryan, it isn’t te most exciting combination that the GOP could have put together. In essence, Romney-Ryan need to pray to God that most conservative voters don’t keep hitting the “snooze” button in November.
