Dear Congressman Ryan:
Regarding the article in today’s National Review Online urging you to run for President of the United States, please give this serious consideration, sir. I am 73 years old, and I have never been so fearful for my country and my grandchildren and their collective future. In order to work our way out of the mess we are in, we need leadership that, rather than playing to the crowd, can understand and articulate the severity of our current situation, and the steps needed to correct our current course. I understand and even admire your hesitancy to leave your role in Congress. You have made, and continue to make, important contributions there, and the personal demands of the Presidency are fearful. But the nation now needs your gifts and skills on the larger stage.
I take the liberty of writing you not as one of your constituents but as one of your countrymen. In these very troubled days, we need our very best.
Thank you for your time, and for all your past work on our nation’s behalf.
Well, that didn't work out, but he could still play a key role as VP. He can frame the issues clearly, with humor and a smile, just the way the great RR could. He'd be a GREAT pick!

No he would be wasted as VP. With some high profile work saving the economy he could be a presidential contender down the road. The debates are minor points, performance abilities in the long term counts.
