[DIRTYSECRET]

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.

I don't know that anyone beyond the small percentage of America composed of communists, socialists, internationalists, and liberal loons *want* to re-elect the incumbent. And we conservative constitutionalists would love to see Obama tossed out on his ear (preferably with impeachment papers or handcuffs). Ryan is a good move on Romney's part -- Ryan is a better man than Romney and that definitely improves the ticket. If this bid for the Whitehouse fails, I can't see it blamed on Ryan, though he would take collateral damage for it. Failure would lie squarely on Romney's shoulders because, quite frankly, he is unworthy to represent the conservative electorate. It won't be a case of Obama superiority, but a case of Romney inferiority. We shall see what pans out.
