How could one possibly add to the Dole ticket? How could one possibly add to the Romney ticket? {Yawn}
We conservatives lost decades ago, many of us haven't come to grips with that.
Matthew Cooper, what in the Hell are your talking about?
Just two brief points.
1. Lets compare and contrast (for historical purposes) on how Team Romney treats Ryan compared to how Team McCain treated Palin. There will be no Wallace or Schmitt so that’s a good start. Any this backbiting by some who still want to kick Palin to curb has got to stop...those are the ones that need to shut up.
2. Ryan was at the DC premier of HBO’s “Game Change”. Hope no one tries to zing him on that one. I guess he has a good explanation such as great snacks and fine cocktails.

Spotted in the crowd…
Guests were a mix of media such as Politico‘s Executive Jim VandeHei and his nicer half (just joking) wife, Autumn, Patrick Gavin, Kim Kingsley and Mike Allen. We spotted NYT‘s Mark Leibovich, NBC’s Luke Russert, WaPo’s Ed O’Keefe and Jonathan Capehart. Others: CNN’s Dana Bash (who appeared as herself in the movie), as did her colleague Gloria Borger, Bloomberg’s Margaret Carlson, The Daily Caller’s Nick Ballasy, GOP Consultant Kevin Madden, and GOP media consultant Ron Bonjean and wife, Sara (a.k.a. the party hoppers), The Hill‘s Emily Goodin, publicist Courtney Cohen, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) Washington Examiner‘s Nikki Schwab, Roll Call‘s Warren Rojas, and publicist/Hollywood on the Potomac blogger Janet Donovan. Both US Weekly and People had reporters and/or camera people on hand. There were also German, Chinese and Japanese TV stations.
They are just flailing at Ryan, hoping to land some random punches.
The age difference is more like Bush-Quayle with a similar twenty-three year gap, but no one would mistake Quayle and Ryan or Gov Romney with ex-CIA director and VP Bush.
Only one thang matters, Romney-Ryan are not Obama-Biden.
Exactly! Have to get rid of Obama, that is my priority. He is a disaster for this country. November can’t come soon enough
Plugging people into mathematical equations is pointless. This article is a complete ‘hurl’. Ryan is Palin? No, and Palin is no Ryan. What would this author say about Reagan? No military service? The military LOVED Reagan. Just an actor? He brought down the USSR.
Dear GOD these people are SUCH fools. Does this intellect actually believe ordinary voters think in terms of triangulating Kemp, Dole, Gore, Clinton and what each tiny nuance means? (I guess that’s quadulating, not tri...)
What I saw today, for the first time in YEARS was optimism about my country..I think these two guys actually BELIEVE we can overcome our national nightmare.
This is an awful pick. Ryan could never be more effective than where he is now. Romney takes a true conservative out of a position of power and sends him to foreign funerals for the next four years. Once again the conservatives get screwed!
The candidates are producing do-gooders on one side and ne'er do anything important...'cept get elected POTUS on the other side.
No it didn't. WTH? I thought it was a great venue and they showed great respect to our troops.
A real disadvantage when running against a career east coast senator and a junior senator from chicago with the most left wing voting record in history of the US congress.
sarcasm off
That is, unless the RINOs join the democrats in the eminent pile on effectively destroying the guy, as they typically do.
Captain Ronald Reagan, USAAF.
It is practically impossible to get any admitted leftist to seriously talk about the role of government. They are under the illusion that all the average person thinks about is what they can get from government. Like Thomas Frank (What's The Matter With Kansas?), they can't understand why average people don't want the government to do everything for them. They're genetically unable to consider the proper constitutional role of elected officials. This dimwit is no different.
