And I’m not upset with that, as I like being in the party of standards.
On the other hand, I would have had no trouble voting for Ryan, and wish he had stuck it out — he didn’t really do anything (his wife said no), and as scandals go it was nothing serious. I wondered if there was something more that never came out that led to him dropping out — or maybe he just decided he couldn’t beat Obama.
I’ve wondered about that too.
It was amazing how quickly he was abandoned by every major Illinois Republican.
Democrats, on the other hand, almost always circle the wagons and fight it out.
