My husband was hoping and praying that Rubio would get it, but Ryan was his second choice. He’s really happy about it.

“It shows that Mitt Romney’s willing to go outside the box of the normal and reach out and grab someone who really gets and understands what’s going on with the economy and how to fix it,” said Reagan.”

I agree. I think Ronald would approve of Paul as the VP pick.

humm. We'll see if this helps Romney. Still not thrilled with this ticket. Would rather have seen Rubio.

Laughing to myself at how the idiot Ron Reagan Jr. probably goes around telling people “My Dad would have been a 100 percent Obama supporter...”.

I agree with the statement. It is indeed Romney's first good move. I did not think Romney had it in him to VP a budget cutter and am pleasantly surprised. Had Ryan sought the presidency himself, he would have had my support. As he hitches his wagon to Romney's, I fear for his presidential ambitions. Even as Romney uses Ryan to pull himself up a level, that same pull draws Ryan down a level. Ryan has placed himself in the position of serving two masters; it will be interesting to see which he chooses in the long run.

Once again the bottom of the ticket is better than the top. It is an adequate choice.

Romney's next great moves will be

• Nominate Sarah Palin as Secretary of combined Energy, Interior and EPA Departments
• Nominate John Bolton Secretary of State
• Nominate Rick Santorum Secretary of HHS
• Nominate Sheriff Joe Arpaio Homeland Security
• Liz Cheney Ambassador to UN
• ...

When you have a marshmallow at the top of the ticket, ANYTHING is an improvement. I have/had immense respect for President Reagan but am not sure he would agree with his son. We will see!

Ryan is an excellent choice for Veep. I just wish that we had someone else running for Prez. (sigh!)

I read a post at another site that essentially said that our side(Romney/Ryan) needs to put all their chips on the table regarding the state of the economy. And then to articulate this message in a way that any voter could understand. No more sugar coating the truth.

Then, if Obama still wins, the people will have made their choice.

I probably didn’t articulate this well.

Hey Mike, “Dad” gave us the Bushes and their cronies with his VP pick. A decision the GOP and USA are still paying for. Wanna’ invoke your Dad’s memory? Try on things he did that weren’t disasters.
