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.

No ‘pandering’ to hispanics(or women). We are not backing down with this pick. Biden cannot ‘scoff’ at his opponent like Lloyd Benston did with Quayle. I just don’t see how this country can re-elect the incumbent unless we’ve turned far leftward. If that’s the case we get what we deserve.
