It would be helpful to have Ryan in charge of the true purse strings.
It would be REALLY helpful to have a true conservative as Speaker, ASAP.
Right on target - the VP position, while good for future political positioning to some degree, is largely powerless. When compared to the Ways and Means Chair, VP gets the toy car while the Chair gets the keys to the sports car.

I agree. McDonnell is probably the best choice for VP. I like Portman but his ties to the Bush administration would make him a huge liability.
